Subject: RE: BS: AluMINium or ALUminum -more fun!
I defer to my Canadian husband on most matters of pronounciation (because I tend to prefer Canadian pronounciations myself), but there are a few Canadian pronounciations that I just can't bring myself to accept. Naturally, these are a source of endless amusement in this household. They have to do with the pronounciation of the letter "A" in such words as "pasta" and "pajama".
