Thanks,I’m Boston born.

Maybe I should hire out as a translator.:-)

Did you know we pronounce “pecan” as pee-can? That usually causes some chuckles.

Ya, I knew pee-can also. I did a few years as an instructor at Devens. I picked up a lot of the Mass accent, but the hard core Boston never sunk in. Probably because I went there only a few times, just to get cooking supplies in China Town. Mostly I hung around Leominster when I wasn’t at work.

Hey; I’m a Californian and I pronounce it pee-can, not that liberal (see how great my education is) bullsh!t, “pehcahn”.
