I just noticed today that I pronounce "Floridian" as /flr='Idi@n/.
"Florida" is /flord@/.
Incidentally, when I was in elementary school, I can remember that I
used to think "Florida" was spelt "Floridia", with *2* "silent i's" :-)
It kind of makes sense. After all, "both" i's show up in the form
"Floridian" but not the state name. :-)
