In fact, my siblings and I were always begging for clarification from Mississippi Mom, who had to spell it out: "PIN! P-E-N!" Give me that 'pin'!There are several dialect where [ae] > [e]: Australia/New Zealand and New York-Philadelphia corridor.
Stop! Murder us not, tonsured rumpots! Knife no one, fink!
