    About the last thing you want to do if you're going to España is to learn to speak the language like a Mexican.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Oh I don't know. They should suck it up a bit. Didn't their ancestors invent Mexicans when they forcibly mated with the natives?

    What, no 'ahorita'? :P Pilar hates the word ahorita.

    Tbh it does not matter the region. Mexico, south America, Spain etc; Spanish differs from place to place but so does English. As per normal generation to generation as well. Pilars sister speaks a lot of slang and there is where the big difference seems to be. When they first met, Cris (sister in-law) and my friend Nem, they could not communicate well at all. Two regions slang just did not mix well.

    Now these days Cris seems to Speak 'Spanglish'. Pilar on the other hand being a language teacher of both English and Spanish does not use slang in either language. However when we first met I used to get a chuckle out of her vocabulary. Much like here we learn Mexican academy Spanish, Spain learns British English. Hyper Market and Chemist made me chuckle most.

    No, I would say Puerto Rican. I remember a ham in Madrid on 20M who hated the dialect so much he refused to speak to Puerto Ricans and said some pretty nasty things whenever the subject came up. I don't understand his hatred but I understand the difficulty understanding that guttural language that sounds like they're choking on something and the weird pronunciation. Hey, I thought Charo was the hoochie coochie girl but in Puerto Rico they drive them.

    That's mean. If you get the shitz from that, it serves you right. Unless, of course, you got enough for everyone.
