How do you pronounce pecan?

I got it in 1, don’t be mad because you lack skills.

Check the Wordle thread.

I live and grew up in Florida. I sometimes say puh-cahn and sometimes say pee-cahn. Pee-cahn is used for a singular nut or tree, puh-cahn is for plural. But sometimes it is the complete opposite. lol

From Texas. Puh-kahn, emphasis on 2nd syllable.

Our travel friends from Canada say Pee-can. We mostly do cruises with them, where the dining room servers are from all around the world, so we always are amused at the various ways people say that word.

I pronounce it “urinal”

Puh-cahn. More importantly how do you pronounce microwave? :grinning_face:

That’s because half of the people here in SC are from somewhere else now. We are one if not the top destination for yankee transplants now.

I was replying to gman. Haven’t figured out how to quote someone else yet

Depends where I am.

if the rule is “pronunciation comes from the native land” you should all be saying “lobstah”

And, speaking of nuts, the same principle argues for dropping the L in almond.

do the region rules leave us with ape-ricot or app-ricot?

Any rule leading to the former should be summarily ignored.
