How do you pronounce LETTUCE?

Lettuce! Lettuce! Who doesn't like lettuce? 
This green leafy vegetable is eaten raw and is also used in salads.
Many love to eat lettuce, but sad to say, only few know how to pronounce it correctly.
Here in the Philippines, many don't know the correct pronunciation of the word lettuce. You can usually hear them call it "LETYUS" or "LETUS," which is wrong. 
So how should you read the word? Both Americans and British read it as "LETIS."
