In the past I have noticed and enjoyed discussions on your site regarding movies based on historical events. I recently viewed ( again) “The Bounty”. Which I really enjoyed. I thought the detail authentic, including the pre-1801 flag, but I was puzzled by the use of the “loot” pronunciation when” lieutenant” was spoken, ie as opposed to “left” tenant. I always thought “loot” was the US pronunciation while “left” was UK. Perhaps you could throw some light on this? Rgds Robert Marsh
