- Humorous observation about phonetic incongruities at karaoke and in fast food.
Pronunciation Incongruities
- On September 24, 2022, I shared a humorous observation about pronunciation anomalies.
- I noted that when performing the song "Amarillo by Morning" at karaoke, I had to fight the urge to pronounce "Amarillo" correctly in Spanish, as that is not how it is pronounced in Texas.
- I compared this to hearing people pronounce the fast-food chain "Pollo Loco" as "Polo Loco."
