Now, if you live in a state with a large Latino population, and you insist that all of America must use Spanish language writing conventions to correctly write in English, well, that's interesting. Recognize where you are.

How we pronounce words is infinitely flexible. There's zero conflict with pronouncing words as if the ~n is being used, and culturally speaking it's a good thing. To actually spell words with a ~n as being the correct & the only way to do it is not the English language. Sorry.

@SaysSimulation Anglos do use it. Talk to anyone native to Chicahgo, or Mwakee. Language is language.

It seems I haven't made quite enough people angry yet, so... For those of you that are correcting me for not using the ~n - there is no tilde n in English. That's Spanish. Anglos don't use it. Using it is attempting to hybridize the two languages. (ducks & runs for cover)

Wow, was this controversial! Unfollows, insults, LOL. My wife says all 4 options were wrong because no "nyo". I wasn't asking the correct way for a Spanish speaker to say it. I was asking how people said it where they grew up, as in regional accent. 40% picked the same as me 1/

I did notice that people from states with large Latino populations were particularly emphatic about what an idiot I was. Hmm. I grew up in a very white English-speaking Midwest where we pronounced it as we pleased. Correctly, within our place, time & culture. 2/

Ok frens, I need your help in settling a (minor) marital dispute with my beautiful wife. While being of entirely northern European descent, she is fluent in Spanish. What is the correct way to pronounce jalapeno in the South & Midwest (S&M), and where are you from?

Read all 10 states. Then, if you believe CNBC is actually a credible, neutral news source & you live in one those states - run! Get out while you can! And whatever you do, don't move here! Very useful sorting mechanism for libtards, no need for the rest of us to get upset.

Soccer is the most European of sports because while the athletes are real and there is actual activity, the final outcomes are determined by procedural manipulation of random bureaucrats

@nealjclark1 Curious about the reasons why people in Maine would say KCF? I'm sure they are there in the middle of farm country, but there's many, many more in NYC, SF, Boston, Maine, etc.

with JD Vance being only the latest example. Because we are the source of the most powerful elites, because we can control the Presidency, because we are urban, highly educated, industrialized & the economic heart of America, Rome & Medieval comparisons just don't hack it. 9/

If we look at the single most powerful elite position in America, the world superpower, we the peoples of the South & Midwest ARE the elites. From our vast masses, we regularly raise up people from humble backgrounds, make them our leaders, they become elite, and then uber elite,

@jollier_raptor Defiant! Admirable! But the pillow will come nonetheless. (Because of declining fertility, Millennials & Zoomers will have far worse problems in this regard at similar ages than Boomers. Justified? Perhaps...)

Yes I'm a boomer (born at the end of November of 1964, so thus will be the last living boomer in 2080), but I identify with my kids and grandkids and their peers. Any boomer who doesn't is GARBAGE and I digitally spit in their face.
