"The native tongue can be confusing for some folks, as half of the United States thinks thinks that “nuculur” is a word. Some English soccer terms can still be difficult. No one in America would intuitively understand that the English pronounce Derby, “Dar-bee.” However is it really that hard to pronounce “Arsenal” correctly? Three syllables. Flows nicely. It means the same thing on both sides of the Atlantic. It requires no Latin flourish." - Ontario Emperor

I'm from Portsmouth and it annoys me (slightly) when I hear the American pronunciation to rhyme with sports-south. It's not pronounced that way. It's closer to ports-m'th. Mind you, I do pronounce it Jacksonville Jag-You-Ars instead of Ja-Gwars so fair's (almost) fair. - Mark H

In my neck of the woods (California), things get more complicated because we have so many Spanish words. Do you say them in the true Spanish way, in the true English way, or in some type of Spanglish way. The very large city in southern California is pronounced in at least two different ways. - Ontario Emperor
