on one TV program the other day, I heard two different men, both Brits, refer to the measurement of distance on the roads as "KILL-o-meters" and "Kill-AHM-aters" ...to my American ear, KILL-o-meters sounds awkward, but I guess it's all in what you grew up hearing.

What I do object to is media folk who adamantly refuse to even attempt to learn the pronunciation of foreign words and keep calling Presidents, Kings, countries, states, etc, by names that make me cringe!
   I remember "Simon Bolliver" from my school days! (liberated S. America or something)...they do similar things to Osama bin Laden, ANY Spanish country/leader.

One of the major things seems to be a rabid devotion to either long or short 'a' sounds...no matter HOW the natives want them pronounced. The use or dis-use of 'r's is a close 2nd! (some manage to milk an 'rrrrrrrr' for several seconds, others ignore it...*grin*)
