ALUMINIUM

is pronounced Ahhll-you-mini-um and not ah - loo - min - um

(note there are TWO I's in the spelling of Aluminium).
Ha ha you try educating the Americans that!

I say it as we here say it & they look at me like I'm stupid!

Water = wader
Butter = budder

I keep telling them there are T's in there but they look at me like I'm thick!
Lazy version of English they have, but I love em!!
