Just got off the phone with a friend of mine that was giving me directions and said to turn left at the liberry and I told him it’s pronounced library. He told me we both got a degree from the same college. He then explained how he used to pronounce words correctly in college but no longer does....what is this phenomenon called exactly?

English is a Germanic language and “Sch” is prounouned ‘Sh’
England is wrong
English may be considered Germanic because of grammar but it's 60% Italic (30 latin/30 french).

So, do Brits say we go to “shool” to get an education?

Or you know language is a living evolving thing that changes over time and American English is closer to the original thing before the divergence, and you're just ignorant as frick and have a stronger opinion of your intellect than you have any right to have.

Euro announcers always seem to use the plurals verbs when they talk about their sports teams.
Euros say, "Liverpool are playing again Sunday."
We say New Orleans is playing again Sunday."

I don't think the team is one unit in their way of thinking. The team are a bunch of players to them. They are wrong.

Correct. When they sent a cable to the US to announce the discovery, a mistake was made in the spelling. Thus the reason it's spelled and pronounced differently here.
