But that makes more sense. In Spanish and French, the spelling is often changed to match how it's supposed to be pronounced. -- (edited) - Roger More Oct 6, 14:49
I missed the guac pronunciation, but heard the "pico de gah-lo" -- nm - TWuG Oct 6, 14:38 2
- Interesting that he mucked up 'gallo', but was OK on 'tortilla'. -- nm - Roger More Oct 6, 14:49

That's because it's cute or romantic when Spanish does it. When English does it, it's like a cat barfing up a hairball. - Beryllium Oct 6, 14:38 1
