Like pie made of urine do we. Well for me a pee can is what I keep in the deer stand. I like my pie made from the nuts of a pecan tree. Please do check your English rules. The letter “e” following the end of a syllable or a single syllable word is used to denote Long vowels in words. So, for the “e” in Pecan to be long, it truly should be spelled PEEcan. Also, the a in the second syllable is also not followed with an “e” so technically it is not a cane but is properly pounced “coun.”YES
Here in the South, we speak the King’s English and not some strange mixture of northern sounds. We take pride in our language and frankly do not like being made sport of those who are not pronouncing OUR words correctly.
Now, No Sarcasm. We were told constantly by the people we were around and worked with in Vietnam, that the North Vietnamese actually had a North Vietnamese accent. By that token, the people of South Vietnam had a different accept to their language and could easily tell when a stranger came from the North. So, southern and northern accents are not just a USA thing.
Close, MC. In my youth, the family sailed C’s and before that, E’s. My only real bucket list item is to get to helm an E or an A, on a nice day with a fresh wind.
The Santana has been in our family for 33 years. She was wrecked in Hurricane Laura (as was most of central and western Louisiana) Spent a fortune on her, well more than she could ever be worth, but when a family member is hurtin, one spends what one must to get that family member well again. She is sailing for the first times this past two weeks since the fall of 2020.
I give a big pat on the back, picking out the Santana with only a bow view.
Born in Eastern NC I guess this makes sense.
“the National Pecan Shellers Association found that “PEE-can” was the preferred pronunciation among 45 percent of Americans. The other 55 percent were split between “puh-KAHN” and “PEE-kahn”—an interesting hybrid of the two.”

What about Alaska and Hawaii? Don’t they count?

Is it Jaa-guare?
Of Jag-you-are?
Man I was at Rural King yesterday with my boss…..he was picking up his new TX22…..and I was drawn like a moth to the Stihl corner. I can’t remember the last time I “needed” my MS440 but I know it was a large white oak. It sits and is only required when a big tree falls.
Why then does my pulse race and my throat goes dry when I hold a 500i…..
I wants it….the precious….

This is really what it comes down to. Regional dialects. There's a lady who comes to one of the local breweries and the pronunciation has become a running joke between us.Born in Eastern NC I guess this makes sense.

I always heard Puh-Kahn growing up. Another odd one is Almond. It was always pronounced am-men similar to salmon.Born in Eastern NC I guess this makes sense.

“To harvest Almonds, you shake the ‘ell’ out of them”
Gee, can you tell where I was raised?
Now, does So-Cal start at the Glenn/Colusa line or at the Colusa/Yolo Line?
Those folks at PETA have never spent a less than worthwhile afternoon trying to round up a half crazy brahma.
That was the very last “intelligent“ cow I ever owned. I prefer Herefords. Stupid yes, but I much prefer stupid cattle. At least you can round them up. But I did have to teach one first calf heifer how to nurse. She was soooo stupid. In the meantime, milking a non-dairy cow is not for the faint of heart.
Cows are our friends? Not sure who is more stupid, that Hereford or the idiots at PETA who collect millions of dollars from even less intelligent and exceptionally gullible people
My PETA, People Eating Tasty Animals. And yes, there is always room for cow at my table, that would be a good steak, right next to the gravy and mashed potatoes.
In my experience, just about all brahmas are half crazy. Those that aren't, are 100% crazy.
