I was listening to the PGA Tour on XM Satellite Radio channel 146, and I noticed something...
Has anyone ever HEARD Jose-Maria Olazabal say his full name in person, or on television?
Reason I'm asking is because I wonder if all of the announcers pronounce his surname with a pronounced "lithp" (Oh-la-THAW-ball), instead of with a "fricative z" like I learned back in Spanish class....
Could Jose have a bit of a lisp, and the announcers are attempting to pronounce his name the way he does phonetically???
They sound really, um, GOOFY (kinda PATRONIZING, actually) when they say it like that....
