from south Georgia, I was once given lessons in pronunciation:

"Honey, a pee can is something you put beside your bed at night. A Pecan (pee con) is something you eat.

I remember a bunch of young people explaining how to pronounce pecan.

I am from the Florida Panhandle and we say Pee Con. A little girl from Jesup, Georgia said Pee Can. I guess even in South Georgia some pronounce it differently.
