They're pronounced differently (here anyway). ROE-mee is more like the city Rome followed by an ee sound. ROH-mi is like the Rom of CD-Rom with a shorter 'i' sound.

Hmmm, I've never seen anyone use "oh" to describe that vowel sound. Do you pronounce the word/exclamation (oh) that way as well?
I can't imagine pronouncing the y/ie at the end of a word with the short "i" sound. Maybe it sounds different in Australia?
