Pronunciation...

I understand we live in the South but the pronunciation of certain words really annoys me.  For example...

A man came to buy Pecans today from our family, he honked obnoxiously as he pulled in the drive-way - What does he think we are, a drive-thru?  Come on people this a home, there is a paper "Pecan" sign in the front yard not a Neon light that says- "PECANS TO GO!" Anyway, back to the point of the story.  He asked for 3 pounds of.... PEECANS...like pee-can.  It is pronounced Pe-con.  It is a nut, not a can you pee in or a can full of peas.  I rest my case.

Just thought I'd share that with you...Have a great Tuesday!
