Annoying.
My friend is spanish (but lived here all his life and is as british as they come). When ever we're out it's both hilarous and annoying. We can't order a San Migel beer without it being pronouced perfectly as if you were in spain or you can't order Paella or Chilli con Carne you have to order "pie-eya" and "chilllle con carrrrrrrrne"
lol.
fun times.
I also have a sweedish friend who regularly visits "IK-ay-arh"

For example, these idiots are often heard saying Bar-the-lona or Se-vee-ya. But they never say they are going to Pa-ree or Glas-gee. |

So why not say things properly? Is it some kind of reverse snobbery to say things intentionally incorrectly?
