The Mexican accent has been phoneticized almost perfectly. From <a href="http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/index.html">Boortz</a>:<br /><blockquote style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Room Service: "Morrin. Roon sirbees."<br /><br />Guest: "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."<br /><br />Room Service: "Rye . Dis Roon sirbees...morrin! Joowish to oddor sunteen???"<br /><br />Guest: "Uh.... Yes, I'd like to order bacon and eggs.<br /><br />Room Service: "Ow July den?"<br /><br />Guest: "......What??"<br /><br />Room Service: "Ow July den?!?... pryed, boyud, poochd?"<br /><br />Guest: "Oh, the eggs! How do I like them? Sorry.. scrambled, please."<br /><br />Room Service: "Ow July dee baykem? Crease?"<br /><br />Guest: "Crisp will be fine ."<br /><br />Room Service: "Hokay. An Sahn toes?"<br /><br />Guest: "What?"<br /><br />Room Service: "An toes. July Sahn toes?"<br /><br />Guest: "I... don't think so."<br /><br />RoomService: "No? Judo wan sahn toes???"<br /><br />Guest: "I feel really bad about this, but I don't know what 'judo wan sahn toes' means."<br /><br />RoomService: "Toes! Toes!...Why Joo don Juan toes? Ow bow Anglish moppin weet bodder?"<br /><br />Guest: "Oh, English muffin!!! I've got it! You were saying 'toast'...Fine ...Yes, an English muffin will be fine ."<br /><br />RoomService: "Weet bodder?"<br /><br />Guest: "No, just put the bodder on the side."
<br /><br />
RoomService: "Wad?!?"<br /><br />Guest: "I mean butter... just put the butter on the side."<br /><br />RoomService: "Copy?"<br /><br />Guest: "Excuse me?"<br /><br />RoomService: "Copy...tea..meel?"<br /><br />Guest: "Yes. Coffee, please... and that's everything.."<br /><br />RoomService: "One Minnie. Scramah egg, crease baykem, Anglish moppin, weet bodder on sigh and copy ... rye??"<br /><br />Guest: "Whatever you say."<br /><br />RoomService: "Tenjooberrymuds."<br /><br />Guest: "You're welcome."</blockquote> Now imagine having a similar conversation about something more important than room service - maybe like your property taxes? Well, if you've lived in California, you probably have had that conversation.<br /><br />PS Actually, this is not a Mexican accent. It's a Puerto Rican accent. Puerto Ricans, like Phillipinos and Indians, learn English in school and therefore think that they can speak it. Of they can't.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/381654410158781605-864192951418843108?l=thestateofjefferson.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joubertnoreply@blogger.com1
