I'm English US = o-reg-a-no UK = or-ree-gah-no US = rout UK = root Aluminium is a bit different - it seems USA/Canada call it aluminum, whereas the rest of the world mostly call it aluminium, hence the different pronunciation We are taught one e is pronouced ehh. And two e's are pronouced e as in we. Resultingly we are taught that oregano is pronounced oregano. Not oreegano. Don't think there were any rules like that when we were taught. It's just how it was pronounced - might go back to when latin and to a lesser extent, Greek was taught here, which is where the word originated. |
