See this map for American pronunciation.
I am decidedly a member of the "crown" camp. So how's about them apples?
I pronounce crayon, when I'm not enunciating carefully, as something like an elongated "cran." Maybe more like "craon"--somewhere between one and two syllables.
I pronounce sandwich as "sandwich," or maybe a little like "sanwich." I don't like sammich at all--but some people on Wordie really love it.
Possibly. Or maybe I just enunciate more than average (am I really the only one in this area who pronounces "sandwich" as it's spelled?)
Yeah, I guess you could say it that way too. There is a difference between the way the two sound, but to my ears it's negligible. Maybe you speak with a dialect that makes it more pronounced?
What, isn't it pronounced, you know, "cray-on"? I'm pretty sure I've never said it "cray-un"...
Pronounced "cran," or maybe "cray-un," but certainly never "crown."
