This is the word that has the most different pronunciations that I've heard. I've always pronounced it "CRAY-awn" ("CRAY" plus the word "on" ). But in New Hampshire, I discovered most people pronouce it "KRAN" (like in cranberry). When I first heard this, I had no idea what people were talking about. Recently, I've heard a third pronunciation, "KRAUN" (as in the word "crown" ).
How do you pronounce it? Have you heard another?

Originally posted by ark13The only other I can think of is Crayola, I think it is more of a brand name but I believe brand names and products are interchangeable. Like a coke is the same as asking for a pop or soda or cola. I like Dr pepper cokes best. A Big Orange coke is good too. Don't forget to drop some salted goobers (Peanuts) in the cokes.
