An oral exam today. Please speak out loud the following two sentences.

"I have been many places."

"I have seen many places."

I believe UK speakers will hear only one difference, the consonant, while US speakers will hear two differences, the consonant and the "ee" of each verb. So who is mispronouncing "been"?
