Mart-in-deez-nuts

Growing up in Ascension Parish, there was only one Martinez in our school - a white girl who grew up in the local area and whose family was from there.

She pronounced it MART-in-nez.

I always assumed it was pronounced that way, until I embarrassingly learned different.

I know three people with that last name. Two say Mar-TEE-nez, and one says Martin-ez
