Santiago is more my stomping grounds, but when she is “Santiago de los Veintinueve Caballeros, porque ya estoy aquí,”* I am wondering if there are problems arising from the similarity between Santo Domingo Este and Santo Domingo Oeste because Oeste starts with O and Domingo ends with O.
Do people wind up going to the wrong city because the hearer misunderstood which Santo Domingoeste?
*For those who do not get it, the city is Santiago de los Caballeros and sometimes Santiago de los 30 Caballeros. But when I am not in Santiago, then of course only 29. It’s not that you don’t get it, it’s just that it’s not funny.
