How are you supposed to pronounce "chorizo" if not "choreetho"?
"Choritzo" springs to mind.
My parents insist on pronouncing the Ibis hotel chain as "eeebeee".
I once heard them talking about the eebee in Paris. (Not Pareee).
Aggggghhhh

@hoefla
How are you supposed to pronounce "chorizo" if not "choreetho"? And why would you want to? If a word is in another language isn't it automatic to pronounce it in an approximation of what it actually is? You don't have to do the accent, but why would you choose a different (wrong) pronunciation?
