Maybe Spanish from Spain? I did years of AV networking in Chicago and Mexicans pronounce both the same lol
[Edit] I might be overthinking it but if that sounds racist, what I mean is I’ve run thousands of wires (and often traced them) when I worked on the field as an AV and networking installer. Chicago has a large Mexican population so many of my coworkers and fellow tradesmen were Hispanic. I’ve heard both words a lot
Took me a moment because I had to consider shitty pronounciation of Spanish by a native speaker of English.
…now say “trace” with a Spanish accent. I wouldn’t call either “shitty,” though. That’s just what an accent is!
I always heard it “trays”
Well - pronouncing “tres” as “trace” goes beyond an accent :) But point taken.
