My mother and her side of the family are from Texas. Try as she might, she can't stop calling a pen a pin. My dad is from southern Illinois, and his relatives all say warsh instead of wash.

Try as she might, she can't stop calling a pen a pin.

Here's the odd thing, though. Everyone I know around here calls a writing pen a "pin", but pronounces the "pen" in "cattle pen" or "hog pen" properly.
