| 19. I highly doubt you pronounce it correctly |

Even the Mexican/Spanish langauge pronunciation really is incorrect. It's an aztec word originally, and the TL sound is one that doesn't take place normally in English. I took an Aztec Language and Culture class in college, and we had a bitch of a time just pronouncing things correctly, including many words with the 'tl' sound in it.
If you're pronouncing it chi-Poatul you're still doing it wrong. Just fyi.
Yet when I do it correctly it pisses off my wife. Then I tell her that I learned about it right before my trip to Wat-Ay-Mala where I had En-Heel-ada's and she'll usually come at me with a knife...Ah Amore'.
