I wonder sometimes why people persist in pronouncing something wrongly when people round them are saying the same word differently (unless they're doing it on purpose of course). Do they find it really grating that (from their perspective) you're constantly missing that third syllable out ?
Obviously I'm willing to accept different pronunciation if it's a regional thing, but I don't think that excuse will wash in this case :)
