A better question: How many folks thought they misspelled the second “females”?

I’m struggling here because I don’t know what that word is. So I can’t work out what the ultimate pronunciation of female is either

Tamales are a type of food. (Pronounced like Tom-all-ays)

So the joke is making you read “females” (fee-males) like Fem-all-ays

Tah-MAH-lehs would be more accurate. ‘Females’, read as in Spanish, would be feh-MAH-lehs.

It’s easy, you read Spanish as if every vowel had that ‘h’. Vowels do not change their sound.

That’s a horrible explanation, right? Here. That’s how you always pronounce the vowels.

That would mean “male” is pronounced “molly.”

Really more like mall-a (like the letter a, not “ah”).

Only if you pronounce “molly” as “marley”!

Because the words are from two different languages?
