It's strange how Americans tend to say pythON and amazON, where we tend to say pythin and amazin, but they tend to say recird while we say recORD (for the noun, I mean. The pronunciation of rhe verb is different again).
This stuff is so interesting to me. How different words are pronounced different ways in different places and how that came about.
