And you know anyone like this isn't pronouncing fajita correctly. I mean anyone buying these any of these "kits" in the first place isn't, let's be real

How do you think people are pronouncing them?

[-] knowone@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Closer to "Vegeta", if that makes sense. Just like how so many people say tortilla without proper pronunciation on the l's

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly I've never heard anyone pronounce it like that, more like "fah-eater".

Wow fair enough, I've heard so many do it. Obviously I don't know your background but I think maybe it's because I grew up and have spent a fair bit of my adult life in the northern countryside? The non-White English demographic round my home region is very low. And I've never met a Spaniard or Latin person around there either, I'm pretty sure. Just a theory, anyways

I should make clear by the way that I didn't think every person from the UK does this. I realise it might have come across that way now

Chicken and chorit-so please. (Rolls eyes)

I mean, the issue there is more about a collection of languages all using the same alphabet but where letters have language- and dialect-dependent sounds, as well as wildly varying rules for how to pronounce letter combinations (and then English isn't even consistent on that in the same language and dialect).

Appreciation and tolerance of food are different from understanding of languages and pronounciation.
