Why did I click this thread? I must be bored.

I think it sounds different in my head but probably sounds the same out my mouth
Posted on 10/26/21 at 3:44 pm to UndercoverBryologist
Nope because I can read and spell

Yes like a good southerner should
Posted on 10/26/21 at 3:49 pm to UndercoverBryologist
nope

No, obviously.
Though I did grow up in that tiny little white space in LA, so maybe it's that.

Should definitely poll people from the non pen/pin merger states to hear you say each word and ask them if they think you're saying "pen" or "pin."

Maybe not always, but I pronounce pig pen & pin the tail on the donkey the same.
Posted on 10/26/21 at 3:52 pm to UndercoverBryologist
Didn't even know people pronounced those pairings the same.

In my head I prounced them differently. But saying it out loud, they came out sounding the exact same.

Southerners reading this thread and then testing it out themselves are having their worlds turned upside-down.

I can’t even say them differently if I try.
Posted on 10/26/21 at 3:56 pm to UndercoverBryologist
My pen has been described as the size of a pin
Posted on 10/26/21 at 3:56 pm to UndercoverBryologist
That small area of south LA pronounces it as “ank pin”.
