1. Marathon
2. Amazon (more the online shopping website, rather than the river - the former tends to permeate conversations more regularly than the latter)
I've been 'pulled up' on many other words (but obviously my pronunciation is correct), but for some reason I'm more conscious of this one. Perhaps it was because I was actually blissfully unaware of the difference until it was quite harshly pointed out to me (thank you very much my English friend :) I have to admit though, it does sound better... and while we're on the subject, I am quite partial to the English pronunciation of yoghurt.
Oh dear, am I becoming English?
