Yaaarghh! It's pronounced SUB-SID-I-ARY, goddammit!!

[Onomatopoeia]

@elmwood

Also what seems like a recent trend: place names in the Middle East being pronounced with a long British a rather than the shorter American a. For example:

• Ih-rahhk instead of Ih-rak
• Pahhk-ih-stahhn (and, in a few cases, Pahhk-ih-schtahhn) instead of Pak-ih-stan
• Ahhf-ghahhn-uh-stahhn instead of Af-gan-ih-stan

I find it somewhat sad, though not surprising that an American would consider pronouncing the name of a country the way its citizens do a trend.
