In my accent, Kendall and Kindle do sound exactly the same. That is not an exaggeration. I'm not saying all Californians speak that way, but I do and so do many of my friends and acquaintances.I looked it up, and apparently the pin-pen merger is more prevalent in the Southern states. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin-pen_merger#Pin.E2.80.93pen_merger
