Being a Michigander( Port Huron) who lives in the South this doesn’t surprise me. It made me think of how they say calculator down here: cuck-a-lay-ter

Dave, I think you are hanging out with those huffers again. I’ve never heard it pronounced like that in Detroit. (Baltimore pronounces it with the accent on the first of three syllables: UMbrella)
How droll. In Detroit, the first syllable is always silent. mystolen-um-brell-a. And in Detroit, they count one, two, three, five.
But why make such a big fuss over something so obvious?
