Interesting. In other words, I should blame my Yankee mates? Ha. p.s. It will always be adVERTisement. Always. 
I grew up saying 'ad-VER-tiz-ment
Which is strange, given that you sound quite English. American teacher(s)?
British: adVERTisement.
American: advertISEment.
My pronounciation is all farked up. Doesn’t really follow any rules - or maybe I just change it as I go. I tend to do that.

Shed.
Boat Shed. Car Shed. Wood Shed. Tool Shed. The Shed.
If ever said though, it’s Ga raj.

People from Newcastle, England, pronounce it either way. It doesn’t matter to them, so it shouldn’t matter to us.
Which brings me to another point; is it EEther, or EYEther…??
I’ve only heard them say CASS-el up in Geordie country.
And the other you can pronounce either way.
Eeeeey-ther as in 'wheeee!
Not as in ‘Ester’
