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.

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.

I gotta ask because I am wondering if you guys are just misspelling or actually say it that way. CROPY do you pronounce it crow-pee like its spelled or crop-pee-croppy.
