In northeast PA and NY section of the Appalachian Mountains we pronounce it the third way. Not sure how they pronounce it in New England, but they pronounce everything wrong.

I've always heard it pronounced the second way. The northernmost 10 miles of the Appalachian (Appa-lay-shun) Trail is in Maine at Baxter State Park.
So we got three of us pronouncing it three different ways. You're gonna make the kid's brain explode.
The kid's gonna disown you as a southerner. And he'll claim transplants should know better.
I say it how she first pronounced it.
Looky here... We're like peas and carrots.

Bazinga!
Born and raised in NYC/ spent the majority of my life in FL 50 years + and still put an "r" at end of idea!!The kid's gonna disown you as a southerner. And he'll claim transplants should know better.
If you're the special needs one, (which would obviously be the carrots because those things can grow all f'd up), that leaves me to be the perfect little pea who just happened to be molested as a young pea, a stripper, drug addict and AIDS carrier.
DiO'Bolic . I think the joke was on me, millionaire special-needs carrot guy.
Well... I did recently get me one of these...
Still waiting on the millions from the shrimpin' business.
It was Hepatitis C, not AIDS.
I sold my boat so I guess I have no choice but to paint the name “Dana Jean’ on the back of my tractor… and drive it around the Appa-LAY-shin mountains.
No, it was AIDS. Although George Zemeckis states that they never came right out and said it, it was the disease ravaging the population during the time frame.
In the sequel to the novel, titled Gump & Co, readers find out that Jenny actually died of Hepatitis C. What... we shouldn't trust what authors write? "Meh... what do they know!"
Winston Groom? NO. He had a seed of a story. Eric Roth, the screenwriter was the one that made him the millions. He was the guy that made that story amazing. Winston Groom's story was horrible.In the sequel to the novel, titled Gump & Co, readers find out that Jenny actually died of Hepatitis C. What... we shouldn't trust what authors write?

It’s clearly said like “Apple-asian”
