How do YOU pronounce Peninsula?

[Analog]

I've heard some southerners say "pen-in-CHU-la"

Here in MI, we say "pen-in-SU-la", as in upper peninsula or lower peninsula.

both are valid, but I think pen-in-CHU-la sounds weird.

In Michigan, it's pronounced, "the U.P."

The lower peninsula is called Michigan
