Despite Latin Americans having become a fixture in most every town in the US over the last ten years, the prevailing American pronunciation of Jose (imagine the accent mark...) is Ho-Zay. In the same way, the Spanish "Rosa" is Ro-Za to a gringo.
Maybe if more Anglos would lend an ear (as well as an eye) to those gorgeous women on the Venezuelan soaps on Univision, we'd learn to speak properly.
