It's one of those American things. I try to pronounce it correctly, tho depending on who I'm talking to sometimes I don't bother.

If it want it pronounced as ee-myuu, you should probably spell it eμ

Apparently you aren't one of these people reading the argument made by the OP. This isn't about the "m".

No, I read it - just didn't see the Aus pronunciation right because of the colors (and overall tiredness). I posted 2nd comment right below.

Americans pronounce Puma as Pooma. All other English speaking nations say Pyooma. American English is getting further from English everyday.

Using that logic you should still be using the native American or Spanish words for everything known in America before it became English.
