As long as they don't say "los feyLEETH", people can pronounce it any way they like. I'm not havin' any of that "Tharagotha" nonsense in my personal universe. :)

(Interesting article, though. I never realized there was a pronunciation crisis in southern California; I've always assumed the Spanish pronunciations were in force for the most part. Heck, even Jack Webb on Dragnet, the gringiest gringo who ever walked the streets of TV LA, said "los feleez", which is as good as you're gonna get from a white 1960s Establishment figure. :)
