Just watched a young man LOSE a round on Wheel of Fortune. The clue, which he completed, was "Flamenco Dance Lessons." They disallowed his reading by saying he said "Flamingo". The next contestant "solved" it and won a trip to Spain. It was reviewed and his pronunciation was disallowed.
He is from North Carolina. Flamingo and Flamenco are, for all intents and purposes, pronounced the same way.
The young man won the game, but it was bittersweet.
