Is it Sh-e-jul or Es-ce-jul ?

The correct British English way is she-jul but you'll find a lot of British people use the American pronounication of ske-jul.

Thanks for that... but can you refer me to some reliable reference that would confirm for me that ske-jul is actually American?

I've always been under the impression that both are British.

Thanks
