Is it pecans or pecons?!


Question: Today, debates over the correct pronunciation of the word “pecan” are widespread among nut lovers. Some argue that “pea-can” is clearly the true pronunciation, while others swear “pa-cahn” is the only acceptable way. However you pronounce it, and whatever chastisement you receive, you can’t go wrong with the rich taste of pecans

Pecans............

The correct spelling is pecans, but some pronounce it pecons. I say pecans. I guess I am not that proper.

Pee-cans in the north, Pee-Cahns in the South. Just like almonds and Ah-monds. You say tomato I say toe-mah-to.

pecan. pronounced pee-cans or puh-cuns.

Pecans

Pecans

But while pronouncing it you can say pecons

Its one of those

I say toe-ma-toe
kind of things.
They're both acceptable.

Pee-cans are something truckers use.

pu-CONS are what they are called in the South (well, everywhere but Georgia, but we forgive them)

i really dont know, i'm bad in english

i thought it was pecons [im so dumb]!

Seeing that I was born up north and transplanted down south, I have found out that it is both, but southerners frown upon the word pecAns..........so down here - say pecOns, for your own sake!

Pecan is the proper spelling. There are actually 3 ways to say it, and all are correct, it just depends on where you grew up.

pee-can
pic-can
pic-kahn

It is spelled pecans and pronounced Peecaans. Hope it helps!
