Close, but no empanada...
Despite Latin Americans having become a fixture in most every town in the US over the last ten years, the prevailing American pronunciation of Jose (imagine the accent mark...) is Ho-Zay. In the same way, the Spanish "Rosa" is Ro-Za to a gringo.Maybe if more Anglos would lend an ear (as well as an eye) to those gorgeous women on the Venezuelan soaps on Univision, we'd learn to speak properly.- Da.

However...If Anglos learn to speak properly, the saying "No way, Jose" would not rhyme as beautifully as it does now =o).
