DING! We have a winner.

It is definitely not "Jye-Ro".

Every greek retaurant I have ever gone to has called it a "Yee-ro".

Yeer-O is a Greek food, Jye-Ro is a mechanical device.

Trust me, I hear "Fa-jeeta" all of the time. It's almost as bad as people pronouncing jalapenio (sp?) as "ja-lop-noes" unstead of "hala-peen-nyos", or La Quinta as "Quenta" instead of "Keen-ta"

thats nice. its jalapeno and its "ha-la-paynyo"
