We Yanks are a bit prissier about this than the English. We say “fillay,”

for example, whereas they say “fillet.” I pointed this out to an American

after I had been in this country about one week. His brow furrowed. “Well,

you don’t say ‘Chevrol-ET,’ do you?” Matter of fact, I had been saying

“Chevrol-ET”–and with a starting “ch” sound instead of a “sh.”
