I agree with the alternatives suggested above, but also:
Bouillabaisse (booyah bahss) to me has always been bwee-oh-bahss. It's close, but no fishy cigar.
Basil is ALWAYS bah-zil. Silly.
Filet is fee-yay and fillet is, well, fill-it.
What made me smile, watching Queer as Folk was that Americans pronounce paella correctly (pie-aya). Years of tourism to the Spanish costas have not broken the Brit tradition of calling it pie-ella. I blame Vesta.
