Since we have a spectrum of North Americans here, I thought I'd take a survey on how people pronounce several words:

How do you pronounce:

Lawyer LOYyer
Roof rOOf
Egg eg
Caramel car-mel
Aunt ant
Crayon cray-ON
Mayonnaise ma short a naze
Been ben
Syrup SIR-rup
Bowie knife BOW-ie
Bagel BAY-gull

It's probably easier if you use strike to cross out the one you don't use.

I had to actually say the word. I think the pronunciation differently on some of them.

It depends on if I’m talking about that thing I take camping to use when I’m done renting my beer, or if I’m baking a pie.

Many around here say AL-mund rather than ALL-mund

I’ve never heard anyone say BAH-gull over BAY-gull. Where in these United States would I find this verbal atrocity?
