I recall that in my Illinois grade school we had an 8th grade
teacher from Pennsylvania who made a career out of telling the
students to pronounce "been" as "bin" rather than "ben"...

Is that the same pronunciation you are referring to?

It's interesting that she would have had nothing to do here in
California...  of course, there are a million other things that
Californians say "incorrectly"...   (-:
