      Well, that explains why I’m never quite sure how I should be saying it, since I grew up right on a pink-blue transition zone

      I self consciously use one or the other based on the way whoever I’m talking to says it. We are not the same.

      What is the significance of the different shades of each color? Like why is Montana a deep red and then southern Wyoming is a very light red.

      Also I’d think the area where blue meets red should be green, so not sure why that’s included on the legend and then not used at all.

      I’m in a blue zone and I indeed say „caramel“, unless it involves an apple. I say „carmel apple.“ But, for the most part, I’ve heard them used interchangeably

      I’ve also heard differences in the first vowel sound— not sure if that is included in 2 vs 3 syllables

      I wanna see a map like that but with the word “pecan” — where are they saying “pee-can” and where are they saying “puh-kahn”

      At first I thought this said caramel production and I was trying to read the map key to see if the southeast United States was where the majority of caramel was produced of if it was the area eith the least amount of caramel production.

      AFAIK, there’s no silent „a“ in English, so three syllables should be correct.

      I live in Charlotte NC and everyone from here and the surrounding areas says “carrmel”.

      I grew up not far from a town called Carmel.

      Care-uh-mel is the candy. Car-mel is the town.

      ETA– this Carmel is in NY.

      I, from Massachusetts, use 2 syllables, but say “care-mel” not “car-mel”.

      „Carmel“ is a mountain in the southern Levant, „caramel“ is a melted sugar confection. It really shouldn’t be hard to pronounce them differently.

      „Car-mel“ people magically ate the A. „Nu-cu-le(a)r“ people magically shat out the U.

      I mean there are literally 3 syllables in the word. It’s caramel. There are 2 A’s in there, not one. I don’t see how you could not pronounce it as ca-ra-mel. You’re just pronouncing it wrong if you leave out the second A.

      Care-uh-Mel is the candy

      Car-mul is the town in Indy suburbs

      Car-mell is the town in Cali

      Carmel is a town where Clint Eastwood was mayor. Caramel is a candy or creamer flavor. The town is two syllables, the candy is three.
