[how do you pronounce the last name of the 11th president of the United States? POLK
How do you pronounce a four letter word for a group of people? FOLK
How do you spell the word for the white part of the egg? The answer, of course, is egg white, but drop it on someone casually in conversation and 99% of them will say YOKE! The power of suggestion is amazing!]

Too easy.
pin is pronounced like "idiot"
pen is pronounded like "editor"
Not that either of those words relates to you; just the right phonetic examples!

Is that "pin" as in "id-i-ot" and "pen" as in "Ed-it-or"?
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
