I never until now noticed that I say this (and I do say Ibitza too) the wrong way. I even speak some Spanish. Saying it the Spanish way is what sounds odd to me.Not that it actually matters that much. I'm ok with words being morphed in other languages. In Spanish it may be chorizo, but in my language it's shoritso. What bugs me more is when people take great care to pronounce words as intended. Like this reporter on the radio insisting on saying the names of French politicians with native-like pronounciation. Cuts off the flow and is just weird.Or listen to a German person say restaurant. Freaking weird.

^sometimes these things happen in a single human and it's rough.

im sick of being autocorrected no robot, that wasn t what i was trying to say...

People in their lifted, extended cab, extended bed trucks that can't fucking park without correcting four goddamn fucking times, and ultimately don't fit in the parking space.

My stepmother is the shitty, unfunny, useless Flava Flav to my dad's masterful, comedic Chuck D. Every time the old man does something funny, cool, or interesting, there she is, repeating it, aping it, or just taking whatever cool conversation we were having and drowning it in a ditch.

Cuts off the flow and is just weird.especially when they get it wrong. i was watching jeopardy a long time ago, and the answer was something about jimi hendrix and when no one answered, trebek read the question: what is voodoo chile?. but with perfect spanish pronunciation of the word chile. CHEE-lay. he said CHEE-lay.

Cuts off the flow and is just weird.What's funny to me is how reporters only do it for certain countries, like if there is news from Ireland, they don't say the names of the people or cities with a brogue. Maybe cause it's English and not a separate language. But wait, they wouldn't go into a Russian accent for names or places. Hmm... Maybe they just get happy with the romance languages. It'd be hilarious if American reporters went into a British accent for names and places. Or Jamaican, Australian...
