I know the extraneous "r" in words like "wash" has been mentioned (people who say "dishwarsher" should be euthanized), but has anyone mentioned the weird insertion of a preliminary "h" sound in words like "whale"?

Hearing it as "huh-wail" always makes me cringe.

I took a class on a Nokia CDMA base station years ago, the instructor was from Mexico City. At one point he was talking about a "vai ess tee ee" the whole class was baffled until he put up a slide with word "Bias Tee". A collective subdued ooohh came over the class with a puzzled look on the instructor's face.

Just to head this question off, A bias tee is used to apply power(separate from the RF) to a coaxial cable to power a mast head amplifier.

So it runs kind of like power over ethernet?
