"Acelerar" is pronounced like that because it has a single "C", the english equivalent has two. A comparable word for pronunciation would be "Acceso", this one does use the "KS" sound.
Also words that start with "S" aren't hard to pronounce for Spanish speakers, it just sounds like your boss either has a thick accent or doesn't care to use the English pronunciation of the word.

If my boss has a thick accent doesn't that mean it's hard to pronounce for Spanish speakers? Obviously it's not hard to pronounce English words if you have a good English accent.

Another reason some hispanics tend to add an "e" for english words that start with "s" is because the spanish equivalent of it does start with an "e" (stress, study, etc).
If we take words that start with an "s" in both languages, suddenly that's not an issue, that's why you don't hear hispanics saying "Eh-Shadow" instead of "Shadow".

wrote last edited by [email protected]the sh in shadow isn't /s/ though, it's /ʃ/. and I'm specifically claiming that no Spanish words start with s+hard consonant. s by itself is fine, for example sonriar obviously, but I claim that no Spanish word starts with 'st', 'sp', 'sc' etc. so you have estudiar, espalda, escuela. in Latin these were stūdium, spātula, schōla. Spanish added an e before the s specifically because it became hard for them to pronounce. this same shift happened in French, hence étude and ecòle, but not in Italian (studio and scuola.)
so I think you have it the wrong way around. the reason Spanish has those initial es in the first place is because it's hard to pronounce consonant clusters without them.

. The race of a voice actor doesn't matter
. It is possible to wear yoga pants because there comfy
. You don't need to shower everyday
. It is possible to crossdress/be gender non-conforming without being trans
. Monty Python is very overrated
Ok, I don't like making generalizations, but let's play the game:
-
Dynamically typed programming languages are for babies.
-
Having depression is not being sad. Having anxiety is not being nervous. Mental health exists and it's very complex.
-
We should start trating unhealthy use of social media as an actual addiction, and the platforms should be held accountable for the damage they have and still are causing.

Sometimes older people have actual knowledge and wisdom that is only gained by experiencing life, and younger people shuld learn to shut the fuck up some times and stop pretending they were born knowing everything.

You're saying that certain things are hard to pronounce for Spanish speakers, and i'm letting you know that it will depend on each individual and not apply to the entirety of Hispanics as a whole, not too difficult to understand, everything else i kinda don't care. Also, "My boss has trouble pronouncing this therefore it must be an issue to literally all hispanics" is kind of a nonsensical conclusion to arrive to.

You could just build housing with the revenue from taxing it
We don't have a lack of housing. We have a distribution problem. We can't just build infinitely, we need to redistribute.

- No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
- Static typing sucks.
I’ve never heard the thought about owning a second home before. That’s a fascinating thought. I wonder if that would incentivize the rich to buy/donate homes. Or if there would just be some kind of rich only club loophole
-
Rather than banning that just tax the shit out of people who have multiple homes
My municipality does something similar but with the procedure being backwards - giving tax breaks to owners of one single property, that are, of course, unavailable to owners of multiple houses -
Once you've seen one [Monty Python] episode you've seen them all.
Sir, these are not Big Bang theory episodes.
You're right. There worst

The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter
This is a one-way ticket to everyone being the dominant race behind the scenes because studios won't hire other races.
Not really. If an actor is good enough that a role then why would they're race matter? Acting is all about being something your not so I don't see a problem with a Asian character being played by a white person or a white person being played by a black person. Also, why would people being hired based on merit be a setback for non-white people? Sounds pretty racist NGL.

The race of a voice actor doesn't matter
I have only a single exception. In Lower Decks, there's a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds where you see two of the animated characters in the live action show because their voice actors look like their characters. The other two main characters don't. One would need to be painted green and could probably pass but the other character, Rutherford, is a black guy voiced by an Asian Pacific guy, and ...yeah he could probably pass but that's...well it'd be a much easier call if the character and the VA's "race" matched.
(In the star trek universe this wouldn't matter at all, I'm only pointing out the IRL conflict. In fact, I believe they went with only two crossover characters for budget reasons)
Dude, this is all ridiculous. None of these people are real and yet here you are writing an essay on the race and ethnicity of aliens in a fictional TV show. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. I really don't care about the the race or ancestry of an actor any more than I care about the color of his hair or eyes.

The race of a voice actor doesn't matter
My country has 300 ethnics groups, so they tend to match character ethnic to its voice actor. But if it's not, no one gets angry. People is simply happy when various culture is celerated.
Though, when it comes to international movie/series/games, it truly does not matter as there's no way to 100% match voice actor race or ethnic groups.
Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character.Ok that's great and all but what if someone outside of a ethnic group can do a solid performance? As I've already said acting is all about playing someone you're not so I don't see the need for an actor to have the same Scottish-indigenous American-Mexican and Somali heritage of a character.

As I stated above: "Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character."
At least Indonesian generally does not care about matching ethnicity or race.

one of the other million people who watch might. When a show is produced, the producers have to think about things like that. Glad it doesn't bother you though.
