Even I say March as one syllable (though I can see the occasional Mar-arch as making it two). The only thing I can think of (welcome back, by the way, she said streaming consciousness) is that perhaps you may actually be saying something like Mar-chuh, crisply rounding off the ch sound? I kind of swallow the uh sound, though I can't get rid of it altogether. How do you say arch?

Perhaps it's a regional thing, like the teacher from New York who had me thinking there was a car called a Porscher?
