Regarding pronunciation

I've always called it cal-lib-er, and it never occurred to me to do otherwise. I vaguely wonder whether this might be a US/UK English thing, where those for whom "calibre" is already a word continue to pronounce it as that word is pronounced, while those who'd spell the word "caliber" look for alternative pronunciations for the program's name.
