Virtually every word in the English language is pronounced differently, both between the two countries and even WITHIN the same country. For instance, does EVERY Brit pronounce the words you've listed above the same way YOU do? Of course not. And neither do all Americans or all Canadians for that matter.



Your question cannot be answered.

This is a little bit silly writing about how you pronounce words, it doesn't translate very well, you may say you pronounce 'Vehicles like vehicles', but we still have no idea what you mean because we can't hear you.



Also pronunciation doesn't just depend on country, it's the regional dialect as well.
