I'm asking if it's a British pronunciation rule. Just because a word is British does not mean it is pronounced differently.

Berkeley in Britain is pronounced one way. Berkeley in America is pronounced another.

This is not complicated.

Non sequitur... Good way to prove that you are not retarded.... (Sarcasm.. just in case)

See when you post a "We told you the American pronunciation", that happened after the OP... See, time and how that works?
