Well I looked up almond on Meriam Webster and it said both versions of it (awmund and allmund) are correct. I have that trouble with pecan pie. Several times I’ve asked for “peecan” pie in a restaurant only to be told, “oh you mean puhcahn pie”. I should correct them back and say, “no peecan pie”. There are actually three acceptable versions of pecan according to Meriam Webster: peecan, puhcahn, and puhcan. My favorite pie is peecan—tastes different than the other two :)
