Must have been a regional thing.

Google has some interesting reading on this one, as it appears to have been taught incorrectly (or so people swear) around the globe ... but only to maybe 10% of the people (based on the ratio of Google searches for the word, or something like that). I'll spoiler tag the rest I guess

I don't think I've ever seen Dilemna before. It's weird to just say it with the 'n'.

FWIW, it is a silent n, like in "damn". But a lot of people remember being taught to pronounce it di-lem-na in their head as they spelled it so that they'd spell it correctly.
