Re: Is it "smug" to pronounce "chorizo," "croissant" and "latte" correctly?
I pronounce chorizo correctly because I shop in a market where most of the patrons and the entire staff are native spanish speakers and if I pronounce like a gringo they laugh at me.
The Daily Mail reports on a Mumsnet argument on whether pronouncing foreign foods' names correctly is "pretentious." I don't think so. Is "latte" really that hard? Woman provokes Mumsnet debate over chorizo pronunciation | Daily Mail Online
But it's "wok-a-mole-eh" and "hala-pain-yo." :mrgreen:
