I know a lot of people get Tatuaje wrong when reading/saying it. And that one is a bit difficult if you don’t know how Spanish is read and pronounced. I know there are others, but here is a quick story about a mispronunciation that made me laugh.

A few weeks ago I was anticipating a package from a brother here, and was excited to know/see what he put in it. On my lunch break I called the wife, and she informed me I had received a bomb in the mail. Hehe, yeah she said it was a bomb in the mail on the phone. Maybe she could have added some high level political figures in the sentence just to make sure the watch dogs caught it. Anuway I told her to open it, and read the labels to me. So she starts “Bolivar, Montecristo, and there are 2 Ramone ALL ONES.” So I proceed to tell her it is pronounced < a yo nes > (sorry that’s my best phonetic for it.) and not ALL ONES. I laughed for a minute and she says “ well it certainly looks like All Ones, so there”. When I got home and looked at it, I guess it kind of does read all ones…lol Anyway I’ll be smoking a Ramone All ONES tonight.

Anyone else have a funny one?

Referencing your sig, I have a buddy who insists on pronouncing Te-Amo "Teemow"... like "Team-O."

I once heard a story about a guy looking for some "Big Mackies". He was referring to Macadoodles, I mean mackanundo, um Macadoodoo?
