\_ I don't get why you added "The". Why?
\_ Do you call it "The 405"?
\_ The Santa Monica Fwy.
\_ no, that is as stupid as saying Va-Lay-Ho, when you really
should be saying Va-Yay-Ho. Stupid gringos, can't say Vallejo.
They might as well as say La Jo-Lah, San Diego.
\_ "San Ra Fel"
\_ "Va-Lay-Ho" sounds stupid, but that's just because it's
really pronounced "Va-Lay-Oh".
\_ It's stupid when you don't conform to the norms.
If Latin is a language of consistency, then
English is a language of conformity.
\_ Va Yayo.
\_ Va-jay-jay.
\_ Or Los An-Heh-Les
\_ El Eh.
\_ hey "the freeway" guy: get the f over yourself. its just a
stylistic choice and neither is any more or less correct. using the
article is implicitly short for "the 405 freeway". do you say
"take golden gate bridge"? or "take the golden gate bridge" like
everyone else. When people omit the article its probably
implying "route 405" or some such. if you can't handle it,
dont take the freeway and just RIDE BIKE
\_ dude, take a chill pill man.
\_ Do you take "the Telegraph Ave" or speak normal English
like everyone else?
\_ Do you say "take the Telegraph Ave" or speak normal
English like everyone else?
\_ I grew up in Vallejo. I have never heard anyone pronounce
it Va Yay Yo or whatever you are promoting.
\_ Va-La-HO. --e40
\_ I went to a friend's daughter's Quinceanera in Vallejo. His
whole family pronounces the l's like it was an English word. |
