Who pronounces foreign words like PASTA right? 🇺🇸 or 🇬🇧?

A discussion of the different ways American and British English pronounce loanwords from other languages. Thanks to @Teverell for Vigo, Kent, another Spanish placename in the UK. Various commenters pointed out Gibraltar. In my haste I grabbed a logo with Ukrainian Гаррі, not Russian Гарри. Ой. Yes, I did measure Australian ’pasta’ too, with its fronter ’father’ vowel, but I ran out time to include the data in this video. More at AusE in future!
