American people just say it wrong, simple as that. If they said every other letter the same way it would be different. It's like the ammount of Americans that i say 'i could care less' is actually shocking, i mean, from people who are seemingly intelligent, but it's so blatantly wrong that it's not even funny.
Another shining example is the many Americans who say 'don't got' instead of 'don't have', i mean it seems that most people say this and somehow fail to be aware of just how wrong it sounds.
All of this. And whilst we're on the subject, what do you Americans have against the letter "u" huh? Why do you shun it so?
The letter "U"? please explain
Colour for one. You write color. Why do this? FREAKS!!!

I find americanisms funny.
The most notable being the pronunciation of "aluminium"
its pronounced here al-yoo-min-ee-uhm"
in the US it's A-loo-min-um
They just completely miss he last "i" for no apparent reason haha. Makes me giggle every time. We had a canadian exchange student at school that did it, too. Don't know if that's common in Canada, though.
well us craigavon folk would say - a-la-min yum

ive heard it tv shows (the ones i watch on the web), on youtube vids, like every where i see non-american people
like its about the letter "Z"
lets say we have a product number.... "Z-3586"
american's would say it "Z(zz)-3586" and i think its british, they say it "z(zed)-3586"
why is that, z is zed?
is it just how you guys where taught?
and i know that other country has different speech and stuff
btw this is not ment to be any form of racism or w/e, im just wondering lol
Because that's how the letter is pronounced, you should really be asking why you Americans pronounce it the way you do, you're the only English-speaking country that does, though the Aussies and Canadians seem to be becoming Americanised pretty rapidly...
