I thought you were Artistocratic Mexican? The Spaniards didn't have much trouble communicating with the Italians (as far as I could tell).
Spanish with an Italian accent works, but not as well as Italian.

You are an idiot. There is no "g" in the pronuniciation. Only the spelling.
anyone who ventures an opinion on how it "should" be pronounced is ignorant of the language. RT's brother is ignorant of the language if he corrects people. There are too many dialects and they are too distinct. I say yonkie, but I would never correct you- BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE.

She did not hand me a straw, but showed me where to get paper napkins and a plastic fork. So I am not sure what to make of that.
Word is that Baron von Trapp had an enormous penis.

Be glad she didn't say Princess Diaries.

2. Farrah and Burt Reynolds should have gone to Julie for a referral.

I did not sing for her. Mainly because what she actually said to me was "you remind me of that lady who sings real good. What's her name. Oh yeah, Julie Andrews." So I did not want to burst her bubble because I do not sing real good at all.

I do, however, know most of the words to most of the songs to Sound of Music. Sometimes I forget a few. But I will sing them in private.

So you pronounce it oh-mahz? (kidding).

It's just one of my many issues. I'm still scarred by unlearning childhood (and into college) mispronunciations of nickel (neck-el) and measure (may-shure). Homage came up recently irl and it bugs me.

You are not paying attention. I took away that choice from her. Princess Diaries was not. an. option.

Hardly surprising that you would know the words, as we've previoiusly established that the songs are all, to one degree or another, about the anal sex.

Douglas Adams thought of the idea of HHGTTG while lying in a field outside of Innsbruck, drunk and staring at the night sky.
