Pronunciation

 * also
 * GenAm pronunciation is because of æ-tensing. In many cases, the  vowel hasn't actually flattened, but æ-tensing has caused many  vowels (including in mayonnaise) to tense to  or a similar vowel. Sometimes this vowel is pronounced as a true  anyway, but it is because speakers associate the -ayo- in mayonnaise as being a  phoneme due to allophony. See also graham, where æ-tensing has a similar effect.
