is it different for the British and Americans? I'm kinda confused with this...
Is it 'ay-lee-us' or 'a-lie-us' or... ????

Ok so it seems like most people pronounce it as 'ay-lee-us' but is it different for the British and American? Because some words are pronounced differently, right? How about 'Alias' then?

I'm American, and I say "ay-lee-uss". I haven't ever heard it pronounced any other way.

The first one is correct. You are right about British and Americans having different pronunciations. It's the same with words like schedule for example. I do the "When in Rome do as the Romans do" thing - I pronounce it as the we do in the UK when in UK and as the Americans do when in the US ;-).

I usually say 'ale-lee-us' with the accent on the first syllable.

Gi is pronounced the first way you have it, but it has a soft "g"
