-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Ted Turner aside, there are real differences in pronunciation in this country. Sometimes only a few hundred miles can make a difference in the sound of a given word. Add to that the influence of schooling and how someone in one of the sound media thinks a word should be pronounced, well, ... but I'm sure this happens in Germanic speaking countries as well ;)
