You shouldn't get too upset over pronunciation of different words.

Take for instance the word, pecan. I hear a lot of people say pee-can. Yes it grates me but that is their way of saying it. To me, it is pa-con.

My town is actually known as the "Pecan Capital of Texas". At the courthouse, we have the worlds largest pecan, even though it is fake (being something like 9 feet in diameter and 5 feet long one might only assume it is fake).

What it boils down to is this; let it slide. You say something differently then others and they may be offended. If you don't let it go when others say the wrong thing, don't expect them to forgive you.

Of course I am sure you are only trying to rib MB over it which is totally cool to me. Jokes between friends are the best kind.  While jokes at the others expense are even better. ;D


You're right on that one.

And, it's pee-can....


no O's in the word.   ;)      ;D

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

I was always told that a pee-can was what you kept under the bed at night to use so you didn't have to go out in the cold to use the out house. ;D ;D

The problem with society today is that not enough of us drink wine from our enemies skulls”.

It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Es gibt keine Notwendigkeit zu befürchten, Underdog hier ist.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. Where are we now??????
