Another mispronouned name is 'CONEJO' a street in Kinksburg and a area near Thousand Oaks,
the correct pronounciation is CUN-NAY-O, but I heard it pronouned CON-NA-JO and CON-A-HO.
The one that probably bugs me the most is
"Juniper Sierra." That's the street named after the Spanish missionary Junipero (pronounced "hunipero") Serra
I guess as long as we're gonna digress this far from the original point of the thread, which is incorrect voice tracked info from outside the actual listening area, we might as well address the fact that even though we live in an area with many Spanish names, we can't always expect non-spanish speaking persons to know or use the correct pronunciation of said names.
Case in point, how many baseball fans outside of the Bay Area, even know the proper pronunciation of the San Francisco Giants second baseman/left fielder Eugenio Velez's name?
And to drive that point home (no pun intended... well maybe), the next time you're at a Giants home game and you hear this chant from the stands, "A... U... Hennio!!", not only will you know how to prounounce his name, you'll also know that Bowler Bob is the house!
Cheers,
