Saw the flick "Gosford Park" the other night.

Noted that all the Brit characters pronounced "valet" as "vall-ett" whilst the 2 US characters pronounced it "vall-ae" (as in "ballet").

This is the complete reverse of what I'd expected. I would've thought the English english pronunciation was the same as that which is used in Oz - ie "vall-ae".

Have I been using a US pronunciation all this time?

PS We think we figured out whodunnit (the first time) - PM me if you think you know coz it may ease the confusion hereabouts.
