Either Way You Flip It, Your Dad Cooks It


cray·on [krey-on, -uh n] - noun: a pointed stick or pencil of colored clay, chalk, wax, etc., used for drawing or coloring.
 
So the whole debate started in 2nd Block; Computer Apps 2. I asked Devanie to hand me the crown (crayon) that I dropped on the floor. From their she explained to me that I was saying it wrong. I even looked it up on dictionary.com and heard then audio. She was right. I do it subconsciously though. I never realized it's [krey-on] because I've been pronouncing it as 'crown' ever since I was little. I blame it on anyone who never corrected me when they heard me say it before. Especially all my teachers up until this point. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for letting me think that was right all this time. I have a feeling that I'm still going to pronounce it as crown though, that's gonna be a hard habit to break.
