Since we have a bunch of english scholars on here...

How do you say acorn?

Aye-Corn or Akurn...?


My wife makes fun of me cause I say "akurn"...short, almost one syllable.

I define them by the type of tree they are falling from, "White Oaks", "Swamp Chestnuts", etc.

Used to always say A-corn. Older I get, the closer I get to sayin Akern. Sometimes I mix it up just to be sassy.

From what I've seen Yankees say A-corn, normal people say akerns.
