His FB page has some posts in Spanish, but the prose seems stilted to me, as in “not a native speaker.”

As in, he took 3 yrs in HS and college?

When I was going to school in Miami, I took Spanish because I wanted to be able to speak it w/the Puerto Rican and Cuban kids I knew (who taught me the “cuss words”). It was all grammar and proper castellano, as the teacher explained. I did well in it, as I did in English, being the grammarian that I was tending to be at the time, but it didn’t help me very much on the street.
