Until someone told me the Portugese rules for pronouncing J as H then I was going round correcting people who said José. In my mind the people I was correcting were the same people who say Majorca with a J, i.e. uninformed. That is to say, they weren't better informed than me, they were just ignorant of the correct pronounciation and getting lucky, as it were. hope that makes sense.

Most people know the Spanish and assume it must be the same, which is fair enough in most cases. At least they're trying!
