Yeah, I think that's actually how I say it. And I usually change it up for pie to be exciting.

I say pee-can

If I'm talking about pecans themselves, I say puh-CAHN, but if I'm talking about pie, I say PEE-can, just because I think it sounds funny (but only when talking about pie).

argh! you are too cute!

Yeah how DO you say Daiya? I say "day-uh" but I've heard people say "die-uh".

I say "tem-pay" and "SAY-tan" for the others.


Also I'm glad someone mentioned worchestershire ... being away from Massachusetts, nobody knows how to pronounce it. They think I'm crazy when I insist it's "wooster" but I say the sauce more like "woosta-sheer". People out here like to try to say it like it's spelled and it sounds sooooo dumb.

puh-con

A lot of these really depend on where you grew up. I'm from CA, so I have a west-coast generic accent... and I love hearing how people from other parts of the country (or world) pronounce things. :)

I say:

pecan = peh-CAHN

worcestershire = woorsh-ter-sher

almond = AHL-mund

Daiya = DIE-yuh

seitan = SAY-tan (although I do think I mispronounce this one and it probably should be say-TAN)

tempeh = TEM-pay

I'm still not sure on celeriac -- is it sell-AIR-ee-ack?

I dunno how it's supposed to be, but I say cel-eer-iac. but not a lot of emphasis on the 'eer'

Heeee! So cute.

It reminded me of this episode of Community....you are not alone.

Is it oo-meh-BOW-she or oo-meh-BAH-she?

(umeboshi plum)

I say it the second way, I think.

I say cilantro with an a like in ant!

It's "oo-meh-boh-she."

Yes you are so cute, we love you. <3

i say celery-ack, day-uh, all-monds, pee-cans, beg-ul, etc. i live in ontario, canada if that makes a difference.

How do you say Muesli? I'm pretty sure I've been saying it wrong, same with demerara.

Do you pronounce caramel, CAR-a-mel or CARE-a-mel?

I say "CARmel" most of the time, because that's how I grew up saying it, so "care-a-mel" sounds so snooty (even though I'm pretty sure that's the right way). Whenever I do say it now, I try to say "care-a-mel," but really fast, so people maybe won't notice how I've said it.

MEW-slee. And not sure about demerara but I'd say dem-er-RAR-ah.



I loved it! So cute!

Me too. Actually, I say coriander. But if i said cilantro, I'd probably say it like that.

i'm glad i speak the languages i do, since about 85% of all the questionable pronunciation falls under them.....
Acai screws many people up because the word is actually açaí (accent indicating stress and 2nd syllable, and the ç is an "s" sound) but most folks don't have the ç on their computers, so it becomes acai. Understandable, really.

I am not naming any names but there is a certain person who insists on pronouncing "Lecithin" as "Lethicin" in certain public forums. To the point where i seriously considered writing her a letter, but decided to simply not listen to her podcasts anymore.

I say CARE-a-mel!

I say:

pecan = Timmy!

worcestershire = Timmy!

almond = Timmy!

Daiya = Timmy!

seitan = Timmy!

tempeh = Timmy!

Celeriac = Timmy!

Mat.

P.S. Sorry I have watched too much South Park recently.

How about PANKO? I say Pang-Ko but my co-worker just said Pong-Ko?

The good thing about Japanese is that it's very easy to pronounce once you know the syllables. I'd say you are pronouncing it properly, 'pan-ko', I guess it's a bit difficult cos it's not really 'pan' as in cooking pan, maybe a bit more like pahn-koh.
