It I were governor or New York she would be the first person that I fired.

 

:thumbsup:

 

Well, if the way one pronounces their own name is a criterion you would use to fire someone, I guess it's a good thing you aren't Governor.

And here I thought I was the only one that worried about this.

 

One more, and we can form a support group.

Here in My Yami, latinos pronounce my wife's name (Jill), "Yill".

A person I do business with is named Yaisy, which she pronounces, "Jaisy".

 

And in Sweden, V is pronounced like W and W is pronounced like V. So Volkswagen is pronounced Wolksvagen.

 

We're gonna need a lot more support groups.

The "English" speaking people I used to work with in the restaurants called me Jimbo. A hispanic tried it once and it came out Yimblows. I don't know, maybe he called me that on purpose.

I gave up. If I go to pick up a prescription for her, I say "Prescription for Yill."

Exactly! To the uptight and low-key Anglo, many things in Latin cultures seems over-the-top and in your face.

They are a very passionate people and many wear their emotions on their sleeves. Just like several other cultures. Great people and drop-dead gorgeous women. I fell in love in Spain about every 3 minutes.
