No offense intended
FWIW, in my state (which prides itself on its red and green chile), the spelling "chili" is considered bad form all the way around. It is neither the name of the food nor the country. It is the name created in our neighboring state to the east for that greasy stuff that comes in the can, which began as "chili con carne," or the restaurant chain from the same state.
Our peppers and the country are both said CHEE-lay by Spanish speaking locals. However, it it interesting that my Google Chrome tries to spell correct the Spanish.
Full disclosure: I am a creation of that state to the east. Now back to photography.
