I agree that quixotic should be pronounced the Spanish way, but I can't find any evidence the standard pronunciation is uniquely American. I never hear people say "nitch" in the states, most are capable of saying "neesh". And foy-er/foy-yay is kinda interchangeable, I hear both, doesn't really bother me though.

You can easily find people misspelling it as "nitch", indicating their pronunciation like Pompei limericks. Mispronouncing "foyer" really accentuates the twang and drawl, it stands out significantly for me.
