Pronunciations

[Robert Lawless]

I looked up the pronunciation of "fillet" and heard fi let for both US 
and UK (though fi la was listed but not spoken as a secondary 
pronunciation). I've never heard a USAer say fi let, and if one did, I 
suspect s/he would receive condescending stares. Am I correct? BTW my 
British-trained Indian relatives say ba let, but the pronunciation for 
site gave the pronunciation for for US and UK as ba la. Any comments or 
corrections?
