Given that it's Chocolate Pecan Pie Day today.
Chatting with my brother, whose fiancee is from the USA about the pronunciation of "pecan". He said he's *never* heard an American pronounce it PEEcan. Only ever PeCAHN.
So with that in mind, US friends, how do *you* say it?
Elaborate in comments with the state you live/grew up in if you're comfortable doing that.
I think he'll find the results fun and informative.
@stueytheround PeCahn, Alabama. I've only ever heard people say PEE can if they were taking the piss, either figuratively or literally.
@awnaves I would say PEEcan *if* I said it, which I don't, because it sounds horrible! And PeCAHN sounds like I'm putting on fancy airs, so no pie for me! 😔 @stueytheround
@stueytheround No idea. I can't recall ever having heard anyone say PEEcan either unless they were mocking Andy Griffith.
