Just a few days ago, Anne told me that I say her mom's name (Meg) incorrectly. "What are you talking about!?!?"
Well it turns out that there is a difference that I have never noticed between the way she and her family say Meg and the way I do. I say Meg as in "pay" or "bay". Anne and the Luginbills say Meg as in "elephant" (the first syllable). And that goes for egg, and also peg and keg I suppose. So, the way I tell myself to pronounce my mother-in-law's name is "Mehg" not "Mayg".
I wonder if this is the difference between the Midwest and the West Coast. Do you have any idea?
