How are any of these "weird?" That is the normal way to pronounce those words.
When I moved from WNY to NC I said el-em-en-tARY school to my students and they all laughed at me...it's el-em-entREE!! I never knew their was a different way to say it.
I should warn y'all, that I often say "Y'all" and a few other southern dialects...Please, for your safety do NOT try to picture "y'all" with a New York Accent! It sounds so bad when I say it! lol!
I once heard someone explain that in a part of the country--I think it was somewhere in the Midwest--people pronounce the word spelled M-I-L-K as "melk." To me, that's one of the weirdest things I ever heard!
Being a native son of Brooklyn, my immediate response was, "Geddoudahere!"
