    Took me a moment because I had to consider shitty pronounciation of Spanish by a native speaker of English.

      …now say “trace” with a Spanish accent. I wouldn’t call either “shitty,” though. That’s just what an accent is!

        Well - pronouncing “tres” as “trace” goes beyond an accent :) But point taken.

          Maybe Spanish from Spain? I did years of AV networking in Chicago and Mexicans pronounce both the same lol

          [Edit] I might be overthinking it but if that sounds racist, what I mean is I’ve run thousands of wires (and often traced them) when I worked on the field as an AV and networking installer. Chicago has a large Mexican population so many of my coworkers and fellow tradesmen were Hispanic. I’ve heard both words a lot
