I'm from Texas and we've always said DEEtroit, sometimes adding "City" after it. We also say INSurance, not inSURance; PEEkahn, not peCAN. And "pop" is the sound a firecracker makes, so we drink soda or Coke (no matter what the soda really is).

I like it that different parts of the country speak mildly different "dialects", it gives each region its own flavor.

If you want to know how to speak Wisconsin just remember that they pronounce all their punctuation.
