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.

it was a 60 year old Jesup lady (a classic southern one to boot) who gave me the pronunciation lesson. Wayne county inbreeding, I guess.
