[quote=Anonymous]I agree that people should pronounce them however they want - particularly if English is their mother tongue and only language. I grew up speaking Spanish and have always been annoyed when people (mainly non-native Spanish speakers) try to correct the native country pronunciations for Spanish-speaking countries. E.g, Me-jico, C-ooba, Chil-e - instead of Mex-ico, Cuba and Chil-ee per English pronunciation. It annoys me to no end bc these same people don't say - Sverige, Deutschland, Espana, Turkiye, or Nipon. Why correct for the Spanish if you're not native? totally unnecessary. [/quote]
