Some of my colleagues are debating the differences between UK and US pronunciations - such as 'Oregano' (Ore-ee-gah-noh vs Or-eg-ah-no) and Aluminium vs Aluminum.

Stuff like this always entertains me - the English language has so many discrepancies and regional variations. :-)

Oh, oh! Tomay-to and to-mah-to. ;)
