I am shocked at you, SFJoe. People in the DC area who say "Warshington " also often pronounce the moo-juice as "melk". Like the abbey/monastery. How did you miss them ? Also used to be common around Pittsburg with some folks whose parents immigrated between the wars. (And maybe others. I don't know. )

I thought those were Midwestern affectations. Although I don't exactly have scientific knowledge. It's just that my grandmother used both of those pronunciations and she was born in Indiana.

My mother, who grew up in northeast and central Pennsylvania, used these same pronunciations.

Or Norwegian. Or Swedish.

Does anyone pronounce Steve Ballmer as Steve Baltimore?

No, but that's what I hear.
