    How do you pronounce these words ?

    Seems like i'm the only person that pronounces pecan Pee-Can

    Everybody else seems to pronounce it Pee-Khan (as in Khan !!!!!!!)

    Also, how do you pronounce Appalachian ?

    Apple A shin (A sounds like Acre)
    or
    Apple a shin (a sounds like cat)

    How do you pronounce them ?

            My pop-pop, who was from Texas, always said a pee-can is something you keep under the bed. It is pronounced pa-khan.

              I say:

              Pee-Can
              Apple-Ay-Shun

              Also:
              Creek with a long "e" - not "crick"
              Roof rhymes with goof
              Balcony = Bal-Can-Ey

                It doesn't give me confidence knowing I speak mostly like a Canadian

                    Me too for all of these, and we're Canadian, and thus speak the Queen's English, so these are all the absolutely correct prounciations.

                          It reminds me of the line from the Inspector Gadget movie...
                          Now I need a dashing appelation...
                          Is that like a hillbilly in a tuxedo?

                            Pop Pop is right about the pee can.

                            It's PuhKHAN for me.
