Apparently, only people who live in Michigan say "cran" as opposed to "cray-on."
Ohhh, I'm from Seattle and say "Cran". Here in Florida, it's a random mixture of cray-on and crans.
Meme. I say "mem"
I say "meem". But my friend says "may-may" and she swears up and down that we are all wrong and stupid.
it's funny cuz meme is an actual word in the dictionary and pronounced meem. it means something that goes around(:
My friend says "crayon" as "crown." I say cray-ns, myself
My best friend used to pronounce"buffet" and "ballet" exactly as they're spelt, and refused to believe me when I told him he was wrong...because apparently in his world, everything is said the way it looks.
This happens a lot to me (being from Kentucky and all).

how on earth do you get "cran" from crayon? or "squirl" from squirrel for that matter?
The "yo" is still in crayon when pronounced cran, it's just very subtle. You can hear it if you listen carefully. What i never got was when people pronounce it as "crown"
I thought "Requiem" was "Rekweem", but it's actually "Rek-wee-em"

I thought 'pretzels' were 'cretzels' til middle school..
Henry? Did u post this?
I hate when people pronounce "envelope" as "onvelope". I say it like "invelope" is that how it's supposed to be?
I pronounce it onvelope...
but i don't think its invelope.
The other pronunciation is ehn-vuh-loap.
It's not pronounced invelope or onvelope. It's envelope.
I meant like the "i" sound. Because sometimes e is pronounced like o like in entrée. But sometimes similar to i.
I pronounce vice-versa like vice-uh vers-uh
My friends get mad at me for it
Your friends get mad at you for pronouncing something correctly?
They insist the only pronunciation for vice versa is vais-versuh. They won't accept the fact that vice-uh vers-uh is correct, as well.
