So, how do YOU pronouce it?

Just wondering, I've always pronounced "falcon" as...

Fal (rhyme with "pal") - con (rhyme with "on")

But I've been listening to the old radio mystery series ADVENTURES OF THE FALCON and everyone on the show says...

Fall (rhyme with "mall") - kun (Rhyme with "pun")

Fall-con trips off the tongue more easily.

@SunshineGirl

Easilier ought to be accepted more widely or widelier 😁

@rinkydinkydoink Sounds like a bigly project for a president in search of a legacy to get stuck into!

Fal (rhyme with "pal") - con (rhyme with "on")..maybe BRITS say it the second way

@ArishMell US-made radio series. Then again, back at that time I hear US actors pronouncing Los Angeles with a hard "g", more like "angle" than "angel".

@ChipmunkErnie Thank you. Simply a matter of accent then, really.

@ArishMell Accent or time period -- I was just curious.

Here it sounds more like Fall-kuhn
(Like “fall” =autumn)
