pa-KHAN for me. Half the time I can't pronounce any words correctly and end up substituting one consonant for another or becoming Australian.
That was a joke.

I feel your, um, pain.

I think there was a P-KHAN Pie YTMND at some point, whether I actually saw it or not.

I pronounce it as "Pee-CAN", and always have. Go ahead and laugh if you want.

Quick question: how would I go about unsubscribing from this thread? As entertaining as it may be debate the proper pronunciation of "pecan", I believe that I've already put in my two cents' worth of input here. I've already deleted this thread from my "notifications and email" settings, but it still constantly appears when I check the "show new replies to your posts" button.

Any suggestions? My apologies for steering the discussion into a slight tangent, but getting constant reminders to check a thread I'm no longer subscribed to becomes a nuisance after a week or two.

I spell it color now but I used to spell it colour. I kept getting marks on my papers, though, and eventually figured it out. The same thing with my use of theatre instead of theater.

I spell it without the U...
The only place I ever started seeing 'Colour' spelt with a U was on Neopets when I used to play.
That was sarcasm. c:

I thought we were still talking about pecans there for a second.

Hmm... "Pecauns"...
