Many places in California have Spanish names and most people, including my parents, know how to say them with a semblance of Spanish pronunciation. So I don’t understand why the local radio station conducted an online poll today asking their listeners if the DJ’s should say dee-ablo or die-ablo for “Diablo”. There is only one correct way to say “Diablo” – DEE-ABLO.

At the time I voted for dee-ablo, 146 people had taken the quiz with 51% voting my way and 49% voting the wrong way.
