      The closer you get, the more it sounds like “App-uh-latch-uh”

          From Western PA and this is the pronunciation I grew up with (but all others were also accepted)

            Yeah, Pittsburgh here, I totally say lay-shun.

            It’s been said the Pittsburgh accent is one of the least attractive so maybe don’t go mimicking our diction.

          I dunno, the way I typed it is how the robots in Fallout 76 pronounce it haha. I could very well be wrong.
