If you say it with praline, though, puh-khan is the only thing that sounds right! (By the way, praline is pronounced prah-lean not pray-lean!)

I actually vary the way I say it, depending on where and when I say it and in what context ("There's a slice of p-can pie." "That pie is full of pe-cahns." I don't know why I do it either). So I don't have a problem with saying it any way you want to, I have an issue with people that insist that the ONLY way to say it is... xyz.

I agree with you on that! Although, I have been known to have such strong opinions on a wide variety of topics. My husband always says "They should have called your 1-800 number to get your opinion before doing [insert whatever I'm b*tching about!]"
