My grandma is from Connecticut and she pronounces it "melk". She also says "draw" instead of "drawer".
I've got the very common Southern California accent. I say "dude" and "awesome" way too often. I'm not sure if this is a Southern CA or Northern CA thing, but I picked up "for sure" (or, more often, "fo sho") once I got to college.
I also say "y'all" but that's only after I talk to my family that lives in Texas and I stop saying it after a week or so.

Yeah, I also have the California accent going... I say "whatever" a little too much (apparently, according to my Mexican roommate) and dude/awesome/hella. And I picked up the "y'all" bit because of living in Texas 2/3rds of the year, which gets me made fun of by my entire family and most of my friends

Oddly enough, I've had quite a few people say that I have a Southern accent, and I'm not sure how that is possible. I'll admit that my grandma does say things with a certain twang, and she uses a lot of "okie-isms" (like "There ain't room t'cuss a cat in there!"). Probably comes from her dad, who was from Tennessee. Who knows, maybe the accent filtered down a couple generations

Jam it back in, in the dark.
