I think the same happens with quite a few words. Herb is another favourite where people assume that the h is sounded.
It'll be a cold day in hell before I drop the H in herb like some American.
Agree it drives me crazy over here hearing that word - if that cold day comes you may as well start saying cilantro, bay-zil & origg-inoh when perusing the erb aisle in your local grocery store.
