Which one do yew think is right?

mmkay. me and my boyfriend have been arguing about this for a while.

he gets upset when i sey this.

pecan.

he says that it's pronounced puh-cahn.

and i say that it's pronounced pee-can.

doods i know i'm right.

Which one do yew think is right?
It can be said either way but I say puh-cahn, not pee-can. Although most people I know say it like you do.
Reply:It's a colloquial thing--you say to-mah-to, I say to-may-to. You are both right.
Reply:You are right it is pronounced as pecan.
Reply:aha this is one of those



to-MAY-toe tuh-Mah-toe

things!



its like when ppl say (like she said^^ caramel) or pirates of the car-IBEAN or CARI-bbean lol



but yesss! i do agree with u,

i do pronounce it pee-can!

it just seems to make more sense.

if it was pronounced puh-cahn

wouldnt it have been spelt

pechan or pecahn????

lol just a thought
Reply:That's one of those words that's technically correct pronounced either way. It's like the word "caramel."



But, I'm with you, I say "pee-can" lol
Reply:I'm going to side with him, only because he DIDN'T post such a vile collection of misspelling and bad grammar.



It's one thing to look cool. It's something else entirely to appear completely uneducated.
