Had a pretentious friend correct me on the pronounciation of Ibiza and Barcelona, stating the locals say it the way he said it. I held my tongue, and steered the conversation to other things.

He mentioned Germany, and with the arrogance and smarm of a thousand reddit liberals, I hit him with, "Actually, the locals pronounce it as: DOOOOYtchLANnnn." Saying it as obnoxiously and with as much spit and I could fling.

If it ever happens in the future, make sure to hit them with a “that’s not how it’s said in Catalan”.

The Spanish dialect closest to them does the “lisping”, in fairness. Historically inaccurate to call it a lisp, tho, unless you count English TH as a lisp as well.

Americans pronouncing the names of US cities with a french language origin hurts me physically. Boise and Des Moines I hate you.

Still blows me away that Lafayette thought it was cool that cities named in his honor were called Fayetteville.
