a) All these prononciations have been heard in this course, in Golosa, but not in this lesson. Every time I hear a strange pronounciation I write it down to help the next time.
b) As for Florida, it was stressed like I write: Flórida; perhaps in North America... In a visit of one of our presidents, and pronouncing a speech before Bush there in Miami he said also "Flórida" and it has been source of many jokes in Spain.
Thanks and спокойной ночи.
