We need more people like you to come to America! Don’t worry about trivial things like how you pronounce words - it’s the common-sense conservatism that matters most! :)

I don’t know about that. If you choose Texas, I’ll need to known how you pronounce “Pecan” “Ruidoso” (New Mexico town) and “potatoe “ ⭐️

pi-cahn´ - at least that’s what they told me in New Orleans.

If it’s pronounced the Spanish way, I’d say rwee-doe´-soe. If it’s been anglicized, I’d say ri-doe´-soe.

pə-tay´-toe

Can I move to Texas now?

Ok I’ll bite...

Pecan — puh-cahn

Ruidoso — roo-dose-oh

Potato — ‘tater (?)

I’m from North Carolina, so let me try: PEE-can, ROO-uh-doh-suh, and pa-TAY-ta. Would they let me in?
