Can’t stand it when people pronounce taco as tack-o.
Can’t stand when they pronounce jalapeno as halo-pee-know.
Then there’s the newscasters who can’t learn how to pronounce local Texas towns.
Burnet is not Bur-nette. It’s mispronounced so often the townfolk have a saying, “It’s Burn It durn it, can’t you learn it.”
San Saba is pronounced with the emphasis on San SAba, not San SaBAAAAA.
San Saba is the Pecan Capital of the World. Pecan is definitely NOT pronounced pee-can.
Llano is Lan-o, not Yawn-o.

Manchaca is pronounced Man-check.
Jimenez is Heh-men-ez, not Jim-in-ez.
Salazar is Sal-u-zar, not Sa-laaz-er.
