I could have made my question clearer, because now I am not sure if that is the answer to 'How is it mispronounced?' or 'How should it be pronounced?'
Although I am guessing the latter, which makes me one of the people who get it wrong. Which is embarrassing, given that I spent a week there.

It shouldn't be pronounced "Mary-land"according to my septic acquaintances, it should be pronounced "Merry-lund" with the emphasis on the second syllable, like "meh REE lund"

Wtf? I lived in CT for 6 years. I heard marrylun, but emphasis was definitely on the first syllable...
