Are you a yankee?:
I'm originally from Louisiana, but I have been working in North Carolina for some time.
Well, as part of my job, I was dealing with a lady on the phone, and all of a sudden she blurts out, "are you a yankee"? I say, "why would you ask me that"
It seems I said the word "pecan," and pronounced it puh-KAHN and she felt it should be pronounced PEE-can. I told her I am from Louisiana and we consider her to be the yankee.
She took it all in good stride, but from what I have discerned since then, PEE-can is definitely the more yankee version.
