Of course not!

But then I say Illinoizzz, and ConneCt-icut, and Hawa-ya for those three states and flip-flop on Missourie-Missourah depending on usage.
Of all these manglings, most are personal middle child cries for help, but Hawa-ya is absolutely indigenous pronunciation of the Aloha State. IllinoiZ is infrequent but also heard if you hang around the tire store. I reason if Bay Staters are allowed to leave off half of their place names (Worcester, e.g.) then I can pronounce the consonants that exist .
OK, mods, I promise no more wasted off-topic posts
