Got this in my email and was wondering if anyone has a comment?

------------------------------------
When I started cooking about 30 years ago the spelling was chipotl 
(pronounced chip-O-tul) and they were nearly impossible to find even in 
Texas where I live.  Now they are everywhere and they have been anglicized 
into Chipotle which sounds less Aztec (which it is) and more Mexican. My 
question is when and how did it change? I hate to be churlishly old-school 
but are we really that influenced by McDonald's?
What do you think?
