The one thing I really took away from this (and unfortunately not entirely relevant) is that American English also has it's own SPELLING of Aluminium, not just pronunciation.
It makes the difference in pronunciation make a lot more sense to me. Are there (m)any other cases of this, where both the spelling and pronunciation are different? Leisure, herbs, etc.? (Lift/Elevator doesn't count)

- JonRB 12y agoI was hoping for a bit more with regards to significant pronunciation differences. Not just spelling differences.
- jmount 12y agoAs I remember it the British spelling and pronunciation of Aluminum changed a number of times including using "Aluminum" for a while.
