I've got the box from a bottle of tabasco brand chipotle pepper sauce and it says the pronounciation si "chee-POHT-lay". The article says "...-lee". JillianE01:31, 21 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
Linguists call these ad hoc pronunciation schemes. They're not really systematic. In Spanish it is pronounced "chĭpŏt'le" using a pronunciation scheme similar to that in most US dictionaries. Since English does not permit a final "e" sound, it could be realized as "ē" or "ā" by different speakers I suppose. — Hippietrail01:41, 21 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Noun (2): “A chain of restaurants specializing in burritos and tacos owned by the McDonald's Corporation.” Mis-capitalization aside, can we just strike this without going through verification as not meeting CFI? —MichaelZ. 2009-03-26 22:37 z
Including this in a dictionary is nonsense. —MichaelZ. 2009-03-28 21:58 z
"Nonsense" means that it's totally bogus, whereas this definition is fairly accurate in contrast, or anyway not too far off the mark. Moreover the term could potentially be included under the brand name criteria. I don't think the chain is part of the English lexicon myself, and I've somewhat confirmed that by looking through a few Google Book hits, all of which give it away as a Mexican food restaurant. If that's the case then it wouldn't pass the criteria, which were written rather tightly specifically to keep terms like this out. Nonetheless, it deserved more than the cursory glance it was afforded. 72.177.113.9107:42, 1 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
