Well, there's "seh-REE-bral" and there's "sair-EBB-ral". Honestly, I don't believe I've heard "ser-a-bal" except in the context of the speaker being lazy instead of really not knowing how to pronounce the word. Now something like "library" vs. "libary"...that's not simply laziness, that's simply idiocy.

Cerebral is spelled only one way
C-E-R-E-B-R-A-L
It's pronounced se-ree-bral - no other pronunciation is correct
Many Americans and those influenced by the US pronounce it ser-a-bal -
which is wrong - note that the erroneous pronunciation does not conform to
the correct spelling.
