The answer IS that it's non-standard, and non-standard English is spoken all over. Some people (like the President) say nuclear like "NUKE ya ler." Some people pronounce jewelry, "JOO la ree." Some say "ATH a leet" for athlete. The fact is that much of spoken English is non-standard, and it often depends on where you're from and how you were taught.
You'd be amazed at what I hear where I live.
"Rit wop" for red wasp.
"Waitrick" for waitress.
"Apperntment" for appointment.
"Credick" for credit.
And LOTS of people (including one of my English teachers in high school) say "miss CHEE vee us" for mischievous, which obviously doesn't have an E after the V!
Because thats how they were taught to say it.
... I have never heard anyone say that before in my life.
Trying to be proper english speakers.
NO one I know says that. Are you sure??
you mean they pronounce the nate part?
thats weird
never heard that
The same reason some people say "often" like off-ten.
They were taught incorrectly.
Normally they don't.
Maybe somebody is trying to be cute (I've heard "Pardontes" instead of "Pardon me" and other "expressions" like this.)
They just say it wrong!
I have never heard someone say that. I do have many English friends and they also have not heard anyone use the word.
I'm going with the majority here; I've never heard anyone pronounce it like that. And I'm old.
idk
