I pronounce it cran. I can't imagine what sort of lowlife scum calls it cray-on or anything else for that matter.
Thanks
Thanks
lmao of course the hawks fan pronounces it as "cran"
cran
i feel like northeasterners/westerners/urban midwesterners say cran and everyone else says cray-on.
i cannot remember a single teacher of mine ever pronouncing it cray-on.
Who says cran in the NE? I was born and raised in NY and live in MA. Literally never heard a single person say it that way growing up.
I'm from North Jersey, specifically closer to Manhattan than anyone in Long Island. I and my peers have pronounced it cran literally forever.
Wow, interesting. I'm now genuinely curious about this.
It's an inexplicable annunciation thing where we like to abbreviate the last syllable into the word if it's still phonetically intelligible, I think, at least for me.
This likely stems from Bayonne being "bay-OWN" and Trenton being "trent'n."
Saying "cray-ON" is as forced and unnatural to me as pronouncing the L in "talk" as an L and not a W as in "tawk."
Also, yes, I say "WAWD-er" for water and "KAWF-ee" for coffee. The Jersey accent (which isn't thick at all and only comes out on certain words as I discussed) is something I'm proud of.
Curious and on my lunch break, I took the New York Times accent quiz, thinking it couldn't possibly be that accurate. Sure enough:

Nope, not a Giants fan nor [nearly that] overweight like Carl. (I'm actually some freak who's a Packers fan even though I've lived within 25 minutes of the Meadowlands my entire life.)
That **** is wild accurate, though. I guess it confirms that I indeed have the classic Jersey accent. (I don't say "youse," but I *always* address a group as "you guys.")
We can't all be winners, Mr Perfect.Ive heard poeple say "crown" and thats pretty damn disturbing
