This. I thought most people pronounced it this way. I grew up in northern Ohio, but have lived in the DC area for a couple decades.

Some of us find conversations like this entertaining. We like discovering regional variations. Audio clips are informative, but not nearly as much fun, IMO.

It is a two syllable word for me, never gross-er-y.
