Cran.

[isaac steiner]

so the second one?

[unisteve]

When I was little I used to cringe when my classmates pronounced it like "crown".

[JJtheunicycle]

so the second one?
Im not really sure. It got 1 sylabe(sp?) and like the cran in cranberry.

[uni57]

I say it like it's spelled.

CRAY-yon

CRAY rhymes with day.

And yon is like the yon in beyond.

[UniBrier]

I think it's more like Cray-Yawn.

Are you talking about regular or unleaded Crayons?

2. c r e - o n ( So like pre-on but instead of P a C )

So "c r e - o n" rhymes with "freon"?
Does anyone pronounce it that way? Must be a Canadian thing.

[forrestunifreak]

Cran.

so the second one?

No, like the first one only a little shorter.

When I'm not thinking about it, I pronounce it about that way too, kind of like "Crayn" with the "o" shortened or gone...



But for this thread, yeah, I say Cray-on.

[qhxakg]

Crown.

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

haha.

[uni57]

I think it's more like Cray-Yawn.Are you trying to hint that you think this thread is boring?

[UniBrier]

CRAY-yon, Cray-Yawn. You say tomayto, I say tomayto.

I think I'm actually going to vote in a public poll.

[Sir Wojak]

[Jerrick]

Thats how I say it too.

I cant vote on this poll.

[isaac steiner]

thats kinda like cre-on

[Jerrick]

thats kinda like cre-on


Cre-on sounds like cran? You're weird. lol

Cre-on to me sounds/pronounces like freon (free-on). While when I say crayon, I say it like the cran in cranberry. The y and o become very slight, or not there at all.

[peleschramm]

round here most people pronounce it cray-un sort of. the u in that definitely sounds a bit like a o too, but the closest i could spell the pronunciation is cray-un.

[oneisenough]

interesting conversation.:p umm i guess cray-on but i kinda say it cran.
and you explained cre-on as in "pre-on" with a "ee" for the e rather than an "a" for the sound. idk i think my heads gunna explode from over thinkint how i talk now:D :p
