I say it like they do.
Brayzos?
Because most of the people in these commercials aren't from around here and the local production companies making them don't care enough to correct them.
Why not support local businesses that do these things?

The Dr. Paull commercials mess it up and they live here.
Me too! We're saying right.
Pet peeve big time.
I like how Hispanic folks always have to put that accent on it, "Braw-zohs".
Us locals pronounce it, "Breh-zus"
Then again, we also pronounce Wellborn, "Well-burn" and Villa Maria, "Villah Maria"

That's because Villa Maria is Italian, not Spanish.
Yeah, Italian sounds a lot more like English than Spanish.halibut sinclair said:Love Gun said:

Scott Delucia at WTAW once said they had to spell it wrong so the out of towners would say it right. This has been going on a long time.
at least we don't live in Mexia or Refugio

Or Bexar County!
BRAZ-US
Brazo del dios
It's always been pronounced "Well-burn." Some old maps actually spell it "Welburn."Love Gun said:

While we're at it, can we teach folks in College Station to pronounce "Bryan?"
Some of the kids pronounce it Well-borne. But then, so does the British lady in my phone.EVA3 said:It's always been pronounced "Well-burn." Some old maps actually spell it "Welburn."Love Gun said:

"The Brazos still runs muddy..."
I was born and raised here, 40+, and never knew any one who pronounces it other than the way Donny does in the linked video. Certainly not "bra/brah" like a brassiere or "bray" like a donkey.
Definitely should be pronounced like in the linked video. The Bra should sound like brat and the zos should sound like zus.
I do know people who pronounce the Bra correctly but then say zose.

Well-burn Rd ends in Brine, which is the county seat of Brazz-uhs county.
If only local video production companies could be involved...
My A/C guy a couple years ago came to do some work at my house. I mentioned something about getting a video done and he said the company FLEW A GUY IN FROM FLORIDA to shoot their local commercials
