My friend's mother used to call "tortillas" - rhymes with flotilla. We would try to keep straight faces. Out of respect of course. |

Phil Dirt pronounced 'Chile Relleno' (Ghost Riders in Disquise - har!) with the l's on KFJC last Saturday. I was surprised since he hails from the San Jose area if I recall correctly. He was probably messing with me Boy I do miss Saturday nites with Phil and <glissando> 'Surf's Up' </glissando>. mmmm... chile rellenos, Rick |

damn Gringos... I don't care how they say it, as long as they play it! It's cool to know we are on XM. I don't have Satelite radio, but I keep hearing great things about it. ferenc —Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp |

Ive always assumed poL-yo cause that's how I learned to pronounce the few words spanish I speak. I think it goes all three ways, pol-yo, pollo or poiyo - just depends on where it is said. we have some native spanish speakers right? Kyle? —Rules to live by #314: |

Woody wins... poi-yo and I like the hawaiian angle that phonetic spelling gives it. Lesson to you kids- name your band The Idiots or The Whatevers Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp |

When I was in Ventura, CA in the summer of 2004, I tended to pronounce the LL in Camarillo, until I started going to Ventura Speedway on the weekends, and heard the track announcer say "cam-uh-ree-oh." The first couple of times, I thought to myself "where is 'cam-uh-ree-oh'," but I finally figured it out - "oh, it's not pronounced 'cam-uh-ril-oh'." Sometimes I'm slow like that. Pollo alluded to it, but sumtymz hukt on fonix doant wurk four me. Matt —Fast Cars & Loud Guitars! |

I'm naming our next band What as for the "poi -yo" thing, it's like an in joke, something along the line of that fictional band the "Oneders" who had to change to the "Wonders" so people got it. I like it though because it reminds me of the way the islanders have a way with speech that rings nicely to the ears. |
