Speech & Pronunciation
Trimester
Is there a difference in the pronunciation of 'trimester' in British and American English?
The most frequent pronunciation seems to be [tra?'mest?].
But some dictionaries list is as [tr?'mest?].

It's a frequently used term regarding pregnancy. The first syllable for me sounds like "try."
