The best examples that come to mind are when ordering food. As examples:

• You speak English and Spanish and are ordering a burrito
• You speak Thai and English and are ordering Tom Yum

I imagine it could depend on numerous things:
• You primary language or ethnicity
• What sort of restaurant
• Who you’re dining with
• Who you’re ordering from
• and probably a lot more…

    It’s kind hard to write clearly in print about how we pronounce things, huh?

    English is also kinda especially bad for this. There’s always IPA if you want to be correct but really confuse most readers …
