I hear many people say the word hammock as in ham mock but her in the south most of us say hammock as in ham mick. How do you say hammock?

Hammick, creek not crick, root not route, aunt not ant
I work for a large US company and talk with people at head office a lot (the joys of global IT). I always have a silent chuckle when they call them rooters instead of routers.Originally Posted by JToon
Anyway, hammick for me though I'd never thought about it before.
3 out of 4 ain't bad, but in my family we have Ants.
For me it is a shwa sound like in "the" (as long as you aren't someone who says it like "thee.")
No joke, my friend's entire local family ( Mom, uncle, older brother) say Hammerk. Like Hammer with a "k" at the end. He doesn't say it like that, in fact we both say Hammuck, and when we get to talking fast it sounds like hammick.

Ham-muck. I've met a couple of people who can't seem to say the word at all. One of the Hammecks once kept calling it a ham-MOCK and he couldn't be stopped.

This. Closer to 'muck' than 'mick'. Certainly not 'mock'. Now, I get a kick out of people who don't know that Oregon is pronounced 'ory-gun', not 'or-a-gone'.
This is how Grinder pronounces it. It's almost as in using 2 words, or a very short separation in the syllables.
I'm in the camp of "between ick and uck".
Enjoy and have fun with your family,before they have fun without you
Ick.
