In my pronounciation of 'proven'

[CollyWombles]

Help settle a discussion between DH and I please!

I pronounce it as 'Pro-ven'
DH says its 'Proo-ven'

I am Scottish, he is South African, whether that makes a difference!

Oooo, now this is interesting. I say proo-ven and am Welsh but have a look at the pronunciation here:

American English is pro-ven. British English proo-ven apparently.
