Date: March 30th, 2017 5:04 AM Author: exciting aqua sneaky criminal sound barrier "Crown" is an interesting phenomenon. When they put together pronunciation maps of the country, there is nowhere that shows up with a plurality for "crown" and yet it is mixed in all over (primarily the upper midwest and parts of BosWash, I think). And it isn't just random weirdos here and there who didn't learn it right... everyone in my family says "crown" and I distinctly remember that being the primary pronunciation in my elementary school class room. Also, when I looked into this before, I don't think it was really closely correlated with any other odd regional pronunciation.
