you get mad when they pronounce it the correct way? i pronounce it ma-chure as well, but ma-ture is the actual way to pronounce it.

everywhere you go it ALWAYS has 'ma-toor' listed first and then in parentheses 'also ma-choor'. the original pronunciation is ma-toor.

well if you listen to the sound files the USA pronounces it Ma-Toor while the UK version pronounces it Ma-Choor.

In England, the proper way to pronounce it is ma-chur. Well, that's how everyone pronounces it anyway.

Actually, here, in England, the correct way of pronouncing it is ma-tyoor. In America, I have no clue, but since Americans say You-tube instead of you-choob, I imagine they would say ma-toor. Switches it around a bit.
