Liar — Geraldo really pronounces it “Az-it-LAn”
Find some sand to draw a map in you traitor.
New Mexico has the right to use Spanish as even their constitution was in Spanish. Nevada, not so much. Gerry Rivers is just a racist, always has been a liberal.
You could always tell tourists in TX or CA when they ordered a `tawco’.
Natives asked for tacos using a Mexican a, like the a in `a**whole’.
plural gringos
often disparaging : a foreigner in Spain or Latin America especially when of English or American origin; broadly : a non-Hispanic person
Bolling is owed an apology from Selfie-man.
Well., having spent a good portion of my life in the northern and southern part of the state I would venture to say that I have always pronounced it Ne-Vad-Da.
He’d be really bummed out if he came to Na-VAY-duh, Iowa (or even MAD-drid, Iowa).
He didn’t really pronounce it the Spanish way. In Spanish, the “e” would be as in “mesa,” the “v” would be “harder” than the “v” in English, more like a “b,” the “d” would be “softer,” closer to the “th” in “that,” and the final “a” would be pronounced as in the English word “all.”
It’s “Nev-Ad-a” that’s correct. It’s not a Spanish noun, but a Spanish adjective that means “Snow-covered” or better, “Snowy”.
The name was chosen by Nevada state representatives in Washington DC during the Civil War. The name was taken from the Juan Batista de Anza expedition’s cartographer who wrote the adjective “snow-covered” on his map when the expedition got to a high vantage point in the Sierra Nevada during the winter of 1774 to see what was on the other side. They looked out over the Great Basin and saw snowy mountains all the way over the distant horizon and turned around back to San Francisco. Didn’t even try to cross it, which was ultimately a good idea. They’d never have made it.
There’s Coloradans who insist that the correct pronounciation for their state is “Colo-RAD-o”.
It's really a hoot when Obama tortures the word "Pakistan" to try to get it to sound like "Pokeman".
Rivera is just another liberal who wants to control other people’s speech. He is as dumb as he is annoying. Whenever he comes on, I change the channel to find something worth watching.
Why would anyone watch Fox News? They are no better that CNN or MSNBC. There was a time where I thought they might turn out better, but that was a long time ago.
