But I'll Never Pronounce Pecan Like Steve Does

I'm losing my spelling and pronunciation skills.  I can't remember if skeptical is an American or British spelling.  I heard myself pronounce na'an as nan the other day. 

I continue to yell at the TV, though, when Liv Tyler pronounces Pantene as Panten.  E___e = ee.  I distinctly remember that lesson from the first grade.

I think you're okay as long as you don't start saying "pronounciation."

So you are beginning to crossover. I would be sceptical if you could maintain your pure accent of birth throughout your life. No fear some things will never change such as crudites. My southern Californian/Mainland Nova Scotia/Cape Breton/Newfoundland/French Canadian/Bostonian/Oklahoman accent have suffered much abuse over the years. Just be grateful you can communicate at all. Blame it on Nimrod and his stupid tower.
