I can't imagine any native-born American would say it the other way, so I'm going to go with foreigners.

You can ACCEPT gifts, EXCEPT when they're from someone you don't like...

In 'The Nanny' or whatever that show is on TV... 'asseptable' is frequently used in place of 'acceptable', and unfortunately, it's catching on. I wish that the TV networks would tell the woman (who is English, I think) to pronounce the word as is generally accepted, or to get the hell out.

It is also a difference in pronunciation: Al-loo-mih-num vs Al-loo-min-ee-um

I believe it could be pronounced (by someone who has never seen the word before) as Sole-der...

Hmm...

We would pronounce it: 'Sol-der/da'

How would you pronounce it?
