Vah-z or vay-ss?

Anyone who says "vay-ss" is stupid, no question.

Bring forth your own issues too.

        It's pretty much the standard way to say it over here now, anyway.

        For some reason I get them both mixed up.
        
        I think it's because Bob Dylan speaks that way and he's from Minnesota. I've got family in Boston and that's how they speak. "Ya'shittin' me" and all that.

      - The American take on 'Aluminium'
        
        pronounced 'aluminum'.
        SO irritating.
        
        Never know whether to say either as in 'ee-ther' or 'eye-ther'. I guess I could say either of them.

        Only correct for them because they spell it that way.

      - I find it odd that the word pronounciation
        
        Can be pronounced two ways, pro-NUN-ciation and pro-NOUN-ciation.
