Haha, that first one reminds me of when I was in Las Vegas, and I overheard a conversation going on behind me. An Italian visitor was giving his American friend a lesson on how to properly pronounce “Bellagio.”
Italian: “It’s bay-la-jhio”
American: “Right, that’s what I said. Beh-la-gee-oh.”
Italian: “No, no. bay-la-jhio.”
American: “Beh-la-gee-oh.”
Italian: “Oh, never mind.”
