An English friend, and a Jamaican friend who was educated in England, bagged on us hard for our Yankistani squirrel pronunciation. Mom, I thought, ably defended us by telling them, “But we’re not English! Why the hell would we pronounce it the English way?”

Yeah, I was just going to point that out. What is this two syllable nonsense? It’s skwhirl.
If you want to add syllables in the U.S., you need a skwhirligig.
Well, that’s just nuts.
