Wait, that's not how crayon is supposed to be pronounced?

Also, the double tt thing (if you are referring to "kitten", "mitten", etc.) is common throughout the language. It has a special name; I learned it in a linguistics class. I feel smart.
Nope. Some snobby West Coaster told me it's supposed to be "cuh-ray-on." Like how some people pronounce "Koran." Because smurf "cran."

And I've never heard anyone but Midwesterners not pronounce the double t, so I figured that was just our thing. And what would that word be, Mr Smartypartypants?
