Another how do you pronounce...this time it's

[browneyes]

acorn.

I say a-corn. My SO says acern. I say I'm right. He says he believes I'm not really southern. He says I mispronounce acorn, white, either/neither, and so many different words. I say he misprounces them and so many more.

 

[Serena]

I say it a-corn too. (that's a long a, btw)

 

[nativetxn]

It depends. If I'm gathering acorns, they are akerns, if I'm say "big trees from little acorns grow" then it's a-<i>corns</i>.

Weird, huh?

 

[Wagamama]

i say ay-corn...I've never heard any other pronunciations of it.

 

[Gail T AGAIN]

I'm with wagamama, AY-CORN, that is the only way or should I say the right way. LOL

 

[WDW2002]

A as in the letter A Corn

 

[#1 Disney Fan]

a-corn

I've never really heard it pronounced any other way... interesting!

 

[dizneenut]

A-corn. I've never heard it pronounced any other way!

 

[helenabear]

a-corn... I've never heard it any other way as well.

 

[Blondie]

A-corn.

 

[Banzai]

A-Corn...but tigger says "hay-corn"

 

[newmousecateer]

"nuts"

 

[Kermit]

A-corn. That may set me apart from true Southerners, but I'm okay with that.

 

[Jeff in BigD]

I've only heard it as "a-corn".

It's weird with the either/niether thing. I go back & forth between the pronounciations, but I mostly pronounce either as"E-thur" & the opposite with niether being "Nye-thur"

And white is "why-t", not "wah-t", "wot" or "hu-why-t"

 

[RoqueC]

A-Corn.

 

[Tony-NJ]

a-cern. LOL a-corn

 

[abaldacci]

Well this brings up pe-cans or pecons(pecans) I say both

 

[Jeff in BigD]

I always say "p'cons", saying "pee-can" is a surefire giveaway that you're from the north.

So is saying "Care-uh-mel", everyone knows it's "Car-mull"

 

[supercarrie]

a-corn, p'con, care-uh-mel...so what am i then, Jeff? half and half?

 

[alabamaalan]

Definitely Pee-kahn (as in Madeline Kahn or Kirk's nemesis in ST2)

I have heard and used A-corn and ache-urn. One of those interchangeable thangs, I reckon....

I use A-corn a lot more though
