DEEkade is not US pronunciation. I've never heard it before in my life.

Seems like people outside of the US are assuming that if there is a word usage or pronunciation that they are not familiar with, they assume it's from the US. It looks to me like a lot of the time, the word usage or pronunciation does not come from here.
