I dont get the question lol. We accentuate both parts like in-shore-rents, but not with the 3 syllable emphasis...if that makes sense lol...
 
in-sure-ince we say :shrug:

I have never heard it said like INsurance or inSURance
 
come now, my dear lara mullen! it is impossible not to emphasize a syllabal!

:hmm: Perhaps it is a regional thing. The person I was talking to on the phone that got me thinking about this lived in Texas and Virginia for a while. Or I should say "fer a spell."

I think you're on to something ... back in college I worked for a health inSURance company and the agents down south used to say INsurance.

:hmm:
