El Deguello y Che Güevara ...


... have U sounds that were reversed in the films dialog. El Degüello and Che Guevara are the correct pronunciations. In Spanish the U is silent between a G and vowels I or E without the diaeresis making it Ü.

The problem is that the Spanish diaeresis is often omitted in English text making the pronunciation of these words guesswork. (No American says, "güesswork or gwesswork!")
