Okay, this one has been bugging me for a while.

How do you pronounce badminton and is there a proper way?

I say it as the majority of people here do (I'm Canadian): BAD MIN TIN

However, on TV and in movies I very often hear to it in the form of: BA MIT'N

And it drives me crazy! Is this a dialect thing, as in it being depending on region? Are there two correct ways to pronounce it? Or are BA MIT'N people just stupid and crazy? :)
