Niether, it's Mex-E-Coe
Or Mex a coe
No. I'm afraid you're wrong.
Neo dies.
my gringos will fuck up any muchacho who says Mexico instead of meyheco.
It's Mey - he - co, dammit!
:curse:
And for all you bastards in California to Tejas, stop bitching about "no one speaking English." They spoke Spanish before we got here, we English speakers are the asshole immigrants who didn’t learn the language. And we didn't conquer them through warfare, they were annexed and nowhere in the contract or state constitution did it say "Learn English bitch, were sending in our settlers!"
|-) Sorry, I better get to bed, I’m grumpy…...oh and I also actually pronounce it Me-x-ico.

Dunno about the country itself, but there is a good Cake and Incubus Song titled after it.
If I say Meh-E-Co I feel like some retarded mouses from a hannabrbara cartoon. I'm goign to be my white Americanself and keep callign it Mex-a-coe.
Meh. We all just call it Mex around here.
We call it 'co
I thought it was Amexica for a moment.
Ahh the age old question. Those in the 'know' say Mehico. Well I'm in the know and I still say Mexico. If you're not mexican or spanish you have no reason to pronounce your X's wrong, idiot.
Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos.
Your all wrong, including webster.com.

It's pronounced: "Dur'-tee-hole"

Meh-Hee-Co, carnal.
Hahaha, Vicente Fernandez is a pimp.
Frijoleros!
Since we're talking Spanish, how do I say the name "Xochitl" correctly?
"ho-chittle", I think... or "sho-chittle"
BTW, "Mexico" and "Xochitl" are about as Spanish as "Canada" and "Ontario" are English.
They're native words, like Quezecoatl ("ketz-eh-ko-awttle"), the snake-bird god. I learned about Aztecs and stuff in art history lectures.
Ok. I knew a girl by that name, but I had absolutely no idea on how to say it correctly.
I have been pronouncing it Ketz-e-coat-el.
Bonus points: What does "Canada" mean?Quote:

Josh was right, Canada = very gay. The US names their shit manly things, like Tishoningo, wish is Indian for warrior chief.
The villiage, piss on that.
If you are speaking English and you say "MEY-hi-co," you are mispronouncing it. If you are speaking Spanish and you say "MEX-i-co," you are mispronouncing it.
What do Greek people call Greece? Anyone know? "El-AH-tha." What country are the Olympics being held in this year? That's right, "Greece." I'm not about to go around making people call it "Ellas."
I'm sorry IronPlant. I'm sorry someone misled you into thinking your opinion mattered.Quote:

During early exploration, some voyageurs met a chief somewhere who was telling them about something called "kanata". They thought he was talking about the land they were in, but he was actually talking about his village down the road. The voyageurs started using the name, which they had misheard as "Canada", and it stuck.
Anyways, ya... I know we call alot of countries by their anglicised names. Alot are quite different from their original form.
Germany = Deutschland
Sweden = Sverge
Finland = Suomi
Japan = Nihon/Nippon
Korea = Hanguk
etc...
and Australians Pronounce their countries name "ostraya"
I don't know if any of you have actually been to Mexico but damn, stay clear of it.
Don't forget Americans and "Amurka".Quote:

Do all australians pronounce Whopper as "whapper"? Last year or so some Aussie guy came into my local burger king asking for a "whapper with cheese" and the employees busted out laughing in his face.Quote:
