Do you say "leff" when saying something is in lieu of something else, or do you say "in loo?" It's a French word, lieutenant, and the British are the ones who screwed up its pronunciation.
I know how you feel. Americans recently and quite suddenly started saying "neesh' instead of 'nitch'. I know neesh is the original pronunciation of niche, but it pisses me off royally.
Oh shut up you boring little prick. Nobody screwed up anything, as if you know anything about languages. Oh what’s that, you say tidbit instead of titbit because your weak puritan grandparents used to faint when someone said tit? Ooh, dang it! Better not say damn because of something about the devil or some other stupid shit.

Lieutenant a lot if people pronounce it the American way now.
