You linked a diffent word. However, a quick google shows that the Brits and Americans pronounce it like you are saying. Over here in aus I've only heard it pronounced the way I said it was pronounced.

You linked a diffent word.

You mean because Merriam-Webster defaults to the American spelling? If you search for Haemoglobin, you’re redirected instantly.

Over here in aus I’ve only heard it pronounced the way I said it was pronounced.

Is there an accepted online dictionary that lists Australian pronunciation and word use? What do you use to look things up?
