OKAY So Dan and I have this list of words that we pronounce differently and we always playfully bicker about it So another word came up today and I was curious how other people pronounce certain words. 

 

To start this off, how do you guys pronounce "pecan"? I say it like "peh-cawn"

 

If you like, you can post a vocaroo.

 

I'll ask about some more words or post our list if people are interested

Pee-can. For example, if somebody urinated in a can (such as a can of Lilt).

Pecan nuts

Pee-CAWN. Joe says PEE-can. Which is hilarious because that's how Southerners say it in the states.

He is always correcting my pronounciation. And the words I use for things. I love it.

I have a friend who does. Maybe she's just weird. "Pee-can" sounds equally odd to me though.
