January Teaser & Other things

I'm a Texan and everyone says it like they do in the video, Lah-rey-doh.

Of course not. Because you are probably white and live in east Texas. I live south of I-10, and no one pronounces it that way. You roll the R.

Trust you! You knew one person whose first language was Spanish who pronounced the name in Spanish so you must know what you're talking about. I don't know why this annoyed me so much. You're speaking English, it's an American town, pronounce it in English. Do you say "Tejas"?

Actually it was a Spanish town before it became a Texas town and then an "American" town (whatever the latter is supposed to mean). Therefore, I think they have a right to correct someone when thy don't pronounce the word correctly. Why? They lived in Texas before the Irish and Germans immigrated to it.

Ludwig, I have family from Texas and like I said, the voice work is exceptional.

And that's supposed to give you a right to butcher a language? Like I said, no one in Laredo pronounces it that way, unless you want to be laughed at and called a Gringo. But I don't expect anyone to know what I"m talking about unless they lived south of I-10.

No one in Laredo, Texas pronounces it Laraydoh. The voice actor doesn't even sound Tex-Mex. Trust me, I used to date a Hispanic girl that lived there.

How to pronounce Laredo correctly.

To preface my assessment:
My dad was born and raised in San Benito, TX. I've lived in El Paso, Houston, Dallas, Ferris and Waxahachie. In February I'll go see my mother in Houston, my Aunt in Corpus Christi, my cousin in San Angelo and on the way back, my daughter in Waco. (If someone tells me that all but Corpus are above Interstate 10 I'll kill myself....)

Personally, I was impressed by the accent. And keep in mind, this was the 1940's and not 200x. Besides, isn't Tex-Mex considered a food variation?
