Maybe a third of Americans make no distinction between -e- and -i- in front of a nasal sound: <URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_English_h igh_front_vowels#Pin.E2.80.93pen_merger> Most of my coworkers in Southern California pronounced "pin" and "pen" identically even though the map doesn't reveal that.
