That's a pet peeve of mine about a lot of foreign words. Infuriates me.

Sorry, but seriously. Why does this bother you?
Pronounce the name correctly if you can.
Often times minor variations in pronunciation or enunciation can change the entire meaning of the word.
Plus if Americans say it one way yet Hispanic people in America say it a different way, it can create problems.
I hate tda and want them out of the country as much as anyone. But my recommendation is don't be bothered by this.
We have to keep our eyes on the prize.

Face Tat fricks is what it translates to in English, and that's supposed to be said in a southern accent, so you'd better follow along.

People who speak in perfect English who break out the overly-annunciated non-English words do always make me chuckle.

It’s their best virtue signaling effort to say to the world, “I might be white as frick, but I am not racist! I even have black friends!”

This is what I mean. They will be talking in the King's English, and then be talking about lunch and break out into eeench-eee-laaada.

Enunciated is the word you’re looking for, “counselor.”

They do it as a sign of deference/respect from crooked MSM talking heads.
Just like how Hussein called his love child ISIL, not ISIS.

But there is a difference between pronouncing it correctly and faking the accent of the country it comes from. Americans don't say Buckingham Palace with a British accent so why fake accents with foreign language words?
It is a subtle virtue signal. We must say the word with the correct accent so as not to offend the people of the country it comes from. It is silly.

They will say "Los Angeles" the correct American English way, and then say "Argentina" in the most exaggerated way.

When Obama pronounced the word Pakistan, it made me want to punch him in the nose.
Just talk like a regular American how about it?

I was just trying to think of that one -- "Pocky-stahn."

No kidding. Does he want them to intentionally mispronounce it to cater to his desires? What a bitch thought to even enter one's brain.

Ask them to say Germany with the correct accent.
