[info]tigerwolf informs the denizens of [info]bad_service that Mexicans don't speak real Spanish.

People disagree.

EDIT: It's also made stupid_free, of course.

...I fail at typing thoughts as they actually occur in my head. Anyway.

Inability to realize that textbook!Spanish =/= and will most likely never = national and regional dialects FTL.

I try to be as open as possible and reserve judgment in these matters, but to tell you the truth I only got as far as "tigerwolf" before I knew which side I was on.

...What was the wank about again?

[info]baby_dreamerActually, a former friend of mine who is from England said that yes we speak "American English". I totally agree with her. Of course, I'm biased being as I've got heavy British ancestry and have taken the time to learn "proper" English.

Okay, this? Genius. There needs to be a law about your background doesn't determine your ability to speak a language if we don't already have one.

I'm really charmed by his assumption that, because some French people mock Québec French speakers, it is perfectly valid to say that Québec French isn't really French.

I got pretty much the exact same comment from my mom the other day (despite the fact that she doesn't speak Spanish herself, she heard it from a person from Spain) and I had to point out to her that there are people elsewhere who don't think American English is real English, and Americans themselves love to mock each other for their own regional brands of English, and as usual she hadn't thought of that.

The biggest difference I can think of between the two is the absence of vosotros in Mexican-Spanish.

I was taught not to use vosotros by my grammar school teacher, which was annoying when I was actually in Spain with my Spanish speaking family.

I'm just finishing up a semester in which my Romance Studies teacher, who speaks standard Italian, French, and Spanish, as well as Catalan, Ladin, Provencal, and Tyrolean German, if nothing else, pounded "There is no REAL [language]!" into our heads. Now this whole discussion makes me roll my eyes.

(On the upside, all I know is Latin and French, and I can suddenly read a newspaper in Catalan!)

Oh, and:

The French dialect that the first French settles brought to Quebec was the King's French, spoken before the French Revolution many hundreds of years ago.

LOL. More like the dialect of criminals and minor functionaries in the time of Louis XIV! The high nobility of that era did not speak the same French as the colons.
