Additional Information:

It is pronounced more like "can" or a hybrid of "Ken" and "can." I have heard 2 other pronunciations "cans" and "con." These both are incorrect. In France, "con" is a derogatory term about women, so never use this pronunciation. In French, the last alphabet is rarely pronounced, hence it cannot be "cans" either
