I think it's incredibly cruel to make fun of the fact that llamas lips are ill equipped to pronounce Fajardo correctly. And why should they need to? It is easy for them to say COO LAY BRA.

Ha nice try Doug. Everyone knows that llamas communicate telepathically. Well, at least to me anyway.

Which is good, because they're spoken accent is almost impossible to understand. Worse than Cockney.

exactly!

it's pretty futile to try to explain pronunciation in English, since English does not have any rules, To paraphrase G.B. Shaw: How would you pronounce 'ghoti'?

Enjoy Culebra!

After some research - I like to make sure, my quotes are correct - I found out that now it's not Shaw who is the originater of the g.h.o.t.i spelling.

Here's the reference: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=81

llinguists...

besides Artiodactyla Tylopoda Camelidae Lama use rhyming slang and rarely employ proper nouns in a direct manner.

I'm sorry Richard, but our llamas come from a slightly more elevated gene pool and use what would come across to humans more like Tibetan chants in what appears to be Shakespearean English (if they must speak at all), that, if one is actually lucky enough to hear, sounds like shells on the bottom of the sea with a far off earthquake in the background, accompanied by the smell of dream flowers.

I know, you just forgot...it's been awhile.
