Habla Los Angeles?

Two recent L.A. blogger posts tackled the question: How do you pronounce "Los Angeles"? You know the way you've pronounced it all these years? You're wrong. But there's no obvious correct way, as LA City Nerd notes:

In 1952, after touring the nation, Mayor Bowron found it necessary just before the City's 171st birthday celebration to convene a panel of 20 experts to define the true pronunciation. But, the results were inconclusive - no definitive pronunciation was proclaimed or adopted.

Perhaps we just rest assured by the words of Jack Smith: "I suppose there will never be any right way to say Los Angeles."

Quartz City writes that early in the last century the L.A. Times attempted to set a standard... but a battle between two radio outlets led to no obvious conclusion:

Back in the 1920s, the Los Angeles Times promoted the Spanish “Loce Ahng-hail-ais” pronunciation, even printing the Spanish phonetic pronounciation below the editorial page masthead. The popular pronunciation was the anglicized “Loss An-je-les,” and when the U.S. Geographic Board officially recognized that pronunciation in 1934, the Times was outraged, complaining that the pronunciation made the city “sound like some brand of fruit preserve” and intimated that Easterners were plotting to remove Spanish pronunciations all along the west coast and that “Sandy Ego,” “San Joce,” and “San Jokkin” were next.

Meanwhile, the rivalry between Packard dealer and NBC broadcast station magnet Earle Anthony and Cadillac dealer and CBS broadcast station magnet Don Lee spilled over into pronunciation. The NBC stations (KFI and KECA) used the common “Loss An-je-les” pronunciation, however Don Lee insisted on a hard-G pronunciation for KHJ announcers: “Los ANG-less.” Lee died of a heart attack in the 1930s, but the hard-G pronunciation continued to be used through the late 1940s.

These days, the debate still centers on local placenames -- especially, as the Nerd notes, Los Feliz. Is it pronounced "Loce Feee-lizz," "Los Feh-LEEZ" or several variations in between?
