ok... lol, one of my teachers is set on certain pronunciations that we dont agree on. what do you guys think?

Measure- he says (May-sure) we say (Meh-sure)

Speedometer- he says (Spee-do-meter) we say (Speh-dometer)

Lever- he says (lee-ver) we say (leh-ver)

but lately i've been down upon my knees
