Near "privacy" on the site Jim sent is "prius" and, although it is pronounced "Pree-us" in the US and on the site, I have heard Jeremy Clarkson call it a PRY-us. Maybe that is just his editorial comment. I also love to hear the British pronunciation of aluminum. They even spell it differently: "aluminium".
