How do you say certain words? Well it depends on what region of the country you're from. Take a look at the word 'pecan'. (click it to big it)
Which is your prefered speech?
Mine is the green which sort of fits the map above for the St. Louis area.
Anyway, there is a map with 100 words and how they are spoken around the country. I checked my blog and I don't think I've posted this before. Maybe something like it but not this one in particular. So go HERE and start speaking out loud to the computer screen.

Yep -- pi-KAHN wins out in my area. That's what I say, too.
This is an amazing source. Thank you, Mike!
I'll try again when the server is not overloaded.
Angel - That's the 'right' way to say it.
Brandi - I've been getting that server overload message lately also.
