It drives me crazy when Americans say "quix-ot-ic" instead of "kee-ho-tic". And "nitch" instead of "neesh" for "niche", and especially "foy-er" instead of "foy-yay" for "foyer".
"noo-cu-ler" --> "nu-clear"
"loo-tenant" --> "lef-tenant"
On the second one, we spell it Lieutenant not Leftenant the way the Brits do. That is possibly due to General Lafayette.
Lieutenant is pronounced Lef tenant.
