I bet rado says pe-cons ... "I need some advice. Should I buy the $25 per pound South American pe-cons or the $50 per pound European pe-cons?"

:laughnew:

[Bouncer]

Exactly - Southerners don't say pe-cons lol.

shibby does.

[redsquirrel]

Well I say pe-cans.

If it was meant to be pronounced pee-cans, IMHO, it would be spelled that way!!!

Now all of you southerners take your Confederate flags down out of your pick ups!

j/k :)

you fuckers in louisiana don't even speak English. lol

[coffee-guy]

I'm definetly what you would consider "southern" and I say picons (like "puh-cons") - my grandparents owned/live on a pecan plantation and that's how they say it etc - maybe that's why I'm confused...

You are right....there are some illiterate son of a bitches here, but thank god I went to a good school in a very upwardly mobile area.

ya, i didnt know what the hell she was talking about. lol.

she brings up a good point though.

it is spelled Pecan how did the "con" part get added?

Kind of like people that add an "R" to the end of words. Ever here some say "Marth-er Stewart" lol

[Shibby]

Pronunciation by spelling isn't always right. How would you pronounce "read"...?

If you are talking present tense it would be like "reed". Past tense would be like "red"
