i was in no small part raised in a british cultural setting and by people who were culturally british
back when i had the memories of drug classification and pharmacology that i earned from wasting my time reading very boring textbooks i recall having difficulty pronouncing "acetaminophen" for lack of a verbal coach and found "paracetamol" much easier to relay. at the time it seemed important to get the chemical names correct to not fall into the current of describing basic generic products by a brand name, which is culturally a very american thing ime
this was also before e-merriam webster had pronunciation readily available
