I know it's dumb, but it annoys me the way NBC Washington's Erika Gonzalez uses a very ethnic accent to say her last name.  No other word out of her mouth has any kind of accent, not even when she may be speaking the name of another Latino, but her last name is always super accented and stressed.  Same way Giada De Laurentiis will say "spa-ghet-teeeee" in the sentence "I'm in my home in Malibu today.  It's a bit overcast and a chilly 66 degrees, so I decided to make some spa-ghet-teeeeee for dinner."  [/quote]

I don't bust out my German accent mid-sentence to say Schadenfreude, but I do pronounce my German last name as it is pronounced in German.[/quote]
