Sorry, haven’t seen your reply earlier.

Well and Germans calling Barcelona “Bazelona”.

Huh? You must have heard someone having no idea what they’re talking about. :D

We write it the same as in Spanish… So we have an r sound in there, but typically we don’t roll the r and instead pronounce it like the French. And we’ll pronounce Spanish “c” like a sharp S, but there’s plenty of Spanish and Latin American people doing the same. I have lived in Bogotá, I’m allowed to do this. :D

Yeah, but that’s not unique to Americans or even the English language. In German we write it the same (Parmesan) and pronounce a soft s in that place.
