Default American/British Different Pronunciations

What are some funny words that Americans and Britons pronounce differently? (Not spell, I realize that)

Hyundai
Britain: High-on-dye
USA: Hun-day

Mascara
Britain: Mask-are-uh
USA: Mask-air-uh

there are a few others, but I hear these all the time and I have to laugh a bit.
