Also are we going to talk about the fact that I've never heard anyone outside of the south pronounce pecan as "pee-can?"

[-] Polar@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

What? Canada pronounces it "pee-can" instead of "peh-cawn".

Up against the wall!

[-] raptir@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

I'm not talking about that far North.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, we follow the pronunciation rules of English. What pronunciation rules does "peh-cawn" follow?

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

we follow the pronunciation rules of English

Where are those?

You know that warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Arc with all the crates? We've got one in an unspecified location with the best quality maple syrups, rare cheese curds to use in top end poutines, and the good golden curling stones.

✋ I'm not from the south and I pronounce it pee-can along with everyone I know

[-] groats_survivor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As a northerner, I've never heard pee-can either. I think it's a straw man for southerners

[-] thenofootcanman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How else are you supposed to pronounce it?

we really need to get some linguists on Lemmy because i miss communities like r/fauxnetics

this is why they should just teach IPA in schools lol whats the point of these phonetic spellings when the point is that many dialects of english pronounce the same word differently

OP was probably talking about /'pi.cæn/ as in "can of beans" compared to /pɪ'can/ as in "con man". they altered "pee" even though that part sounds nearly the same! probably because a Pee Can is a funny image.
