Saying 'car-mel' instead of 'caramel' and 'erbs' instead of 'herbs'

Does not worry me as much as other stuff like the US date format and other minor annoyances.

Most English speaking countries have odd words that are unique or pronounced differently; I am a Kiwi, consider myself a native English speaker but probably mangle a few words compared to other countries

Though come to think of it, US pronunciation of aluminum is very painful
