This is not important, but it is mildly interestly.  There are two ways people say the word apricot.  APE-ricot (ape like a gorilla).  Or APP-ricot (like an app on your phone).  I say "ape".  What do you say?

I googled Apricot pronunciation and a audio comes up with the British and American pronunciation, both the same with a long A.  Mine is probably more of a Texas/Southern thing with the "app."

Sounds like we have another food to add to the infamous "Toe May Toe   Toe Mah Toe"  &  "Po Tay Toe   Po Taw Toe"  proverbial question.  LOL

@SloopJohnB  Not that it matters (lol) but I say Tuh may toe.
