Of course words are going to be pronounced differently in different languages. . . . .

Orange-Juice - Some people, like me, say both words "Orinj joose" some make in one longer word "orinjoose" without the seperate "ju" sounds in the middle. The second is common with people who have english as their second language and also those whose parents aren't native english speakers.

Jalapeno

"Hhalla-peeeno" by spanish speakers (phlegmy at the beginning).
"Halla-peeno" by most other people.
"Jallu-payno" by brummies.

(Edit: Noticed somebody has already done this one! Ah well)

Are

"Ahr" in America
"Ah" in England, Oz, NZ
"Or" in Ireland
"Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" in the westcountry

Well, I've just moved up north to Chicago, and damn... the dialect here is a bit crazy. I've also run into the Minnesot(ans? ians? ites?) and here is what I hear all the time...

Chicago- Chic-ehh-go, Chic-Ah-Go, Chiga-ah

Room- Rooom, Rum, ryoom.

Roof- Roof, Ruff, ref

Drives me nuts, I was aware that they talked like this before, but I just want to scream out - IT'S ROOF. ROOF.

Americans have weird ways of pronouncing things.
Take for example two makes of car.

1. It's Mazda not Mahzdah (no such make)

2. Nissan/Datsun not Neesun/dahtsun (again no such car)
