LBV pronunciation

[gjpjtj]

bwen-ah vista

I agree.....

 

[dopey]

Or you could just say "Good View."

I think the inhabitants should have the last word, even if their pronunciation is incorrect.

So, vis (rhymes with hiss) it shall remain.

There are a few local areas that have Spanish names, and the inhabitants have their own pronunciation.

One area of town is Ortega, which the locals pronounce Or-tee-ga. Another area is a mispelled Spanish name, Ponte Vedra. My Texan SIL insists upon calling it Pon-ta Ver- day, which is probably the original name

 

[The Mom]

But then again in Atlanta they pronounce Ponce DeLeon : pahnss > duh LEE-on :lol:

Locally, it's pons day lee own.

It's really weird that I saw this thread now... I'd never heard my dad say "Buena Vista" before today.

He says "Bonavista". Beat that. :lol:

(FYI, it's always been "bwen-a vista" for me.)

That's my opinion too. There are towns in different parts of the country with names spelled exactly alike but pronounced differently, just because of local preferences.

Apparently, my Nana used to pronounce it "bunna".

I think it's bweyna, though. Isn't it supposed to be Spanish? Though I do tend to say boina instead. And I say vISTa, not veesta. I also pronounce Microsoft's new OS that way, and I'm not sure which they intend. Disney probably intends veesta.

Lake Buena Vista is a city in Orange County, Florida, United States. It is mostly known for being home to the Walt Disney World Resort. The population was 16 at the 2000 census. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 15.

So does an absolute majority of 8 count, or do all 15 need to agree? :lookaroun

You're on a board devoted to discussion of 5-foot mice and fake castles. This is practically a foreign policy debate by comparison. :lol:
