People who say a-kern should probably just go ahead and off themselves. Worthless excuses for human beings.

i say acern. my gf is from minnesota, and she thinks it's ridiculous. i thought it was a texas thing, but apparantly only the folks from nongated communities pronounce it acern.

Well "akern" was the only way I had ever heard it pronounced when I was growing up in rural Central Texas so sue me.

A-corn

and yes, puh-Con is correct.

Pee-can is what you take in the car on a road trip when you have little kids with you
