I haven't called them back to verify. We can only hope.
Along the same lines, there is a chain of grocery stores with the name Ingles. Perhaps understanding that it could be the source of many jokes, they had the recorded voice (this time a good one, obviously that of a native speaker) on their automated checkout machines as Gracias por comprar con Inglés.
When I had had enough of their thanking me for "shopping with English" I contacted them, recommending they stick with saying it untranslated: Een-gulls.
Happy to report they did make the correction, and none of my Spanish-speaking friends object to the way it sounds.
Well, that's about all the crusading I've done lately. I'm not really a battler, only hate to see this beautiful language corrupted.
