[JPL] A St Patrick's Day tradition that always lights up thephones

[Philip Booth]

This is from wikipedia: "Blades is an Anglo-Saxon surname, but as with many 
other such names the mispronunciation in Spanish became widely used. His 
surname is either pronounced in its original English form or using Spanish 
phonemes; his family uses the English pronunciation."
Seems as if I've always heard it pronounced blah-dez or blah-daze. But, as 
Arturo suggests, the English pronunciation is the correct approach, since 
Blades and his family say it that way.

I understood that Ruben himself pronounced it bhah-dez. Not so?
