Now I could start a real argument amongst Americans, I imagine, by 
asking who says "VEE-uh-kuhl" and who says "vee-HICK-uhl" 
for "vehicle."  I've probably given away my preference in the way I 
phoneticized the two versions. ;-)

Nah, VEE-i-ckle wouldn't cause an argument - but AUNT probably would.  LOL  Is it pronounced AWnt or ant?  What about wrestle?  Wres-le or Wras-le?  
 
I'm still wondering how wash has become warsh in some parts of the country.
 
When I first moved to Boston, I wasn't used to the whole Boston way of switching the er and a at the end of a word.  I was temping at a law firm and doing some transcription.  In practically every sentence this guy would say "karmer" and then go on with the sentence.  I typed it [karmer?] in each instance and it was not until I started to proofread that I realized that he was actually saying was comma.  It's my favorite Boston accent story.  Now it's time to get myself a tonic.  LOL
