I don't think I'd rely on the OED for American pronunciations.  Otherwise
we'll be smOOching strange things in England, like "his name and style
being the Honourable Kirkcudbright Llanover Marjoribanks Sellers Viscount
Berkeley, of Cholmondeley Castle, Warwickshire (Pronounced K'koobry
Thlanover Marshbanks Sellers Vycount Barkly, of Chumly Castle,
Warrikshr)," as Twain explains in chapter 1 of _The American Claimant_.
Such smouching would be the kiss of death to what Twain called the American
language.
