Yeah, I was taught a long time ago that the "classic" English pronunciation was cohr-INN, and corEEN was an error (phonetic) that someone decided they liked and perpetuated. I suppose directly from the French, it's more like corEEN, so technically it's more "correct,"
but French spoken vowels are a bit different from in English, so there's some leeway.
