It's always been a YOU thing for me and I thought it was
cute from the get go. Playing with language is not new to
me, so I understood. Since you're a real local, you should
know the truth unless - unless it's second language
interference... or is our e pronunced A?

What I'd like to know how it is that you SoCal people who
pronounce Spanish words so correctly ("qu" in words is
pronounced "key"), but mess up on San Diego and Santa Ana
(Santana)?

Up here, we take liberties with all languages (just to
confuse the tourists, of course). Quintara isn't
Keen-tar-ah, it's quin-tair-ah and Dubois isn't doo-bwah
here, it's doo-bose.
