I’ve always pronounced the word “Southern” to rhyme with howthurn. I know most people say it like “suthurn” instead. I didn’t realize that the way I pronounce it is considered weird until recently!

I say the word pecan differently depending on what I’m talking about. If it’s just the pecan itself I say it like pea-con. If it’s a pecan pie I say it pea-can. Not sure why. I also live in a place with a bunch of pecan orchards so the word comes up fairly frequently.
