In Santa Barbara, CA, there's a street called "Calle Real"

People who speak Spanish will be tempted to pronounce it as "Cay-ey Rey-al" which is wrong.

People from back East who don't speak any Spanish will want to pronounce it "Cali Reel" which is also wrong.

People from the Santa Barbara area know the correct way to say the name of this street is "Cali Rey-al".
