[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!]

Is that "pin" as in "id-i-ot" and "pen" as in "Ed-it-or"?
