[Ads-l] Trivago or Chivago?

[Joel Berson]

I think for me "Chicago" and "Chivago"/"Tschivago" -- as the spokesperson, allegedly formerly, said it -- are a minimal pair.  (Allegedly because I haven't listened to him in a while.)

See Dr. Chivago in Chicago.

Now they have a new spokesperson, possibly Australian.

She clearly says "Chivago."  (Or "Tschivago," if you want to be technical
without getting technical.)
