re: #63 Anymouse

She speaks a hell of a lot better English than I do Slovenian.

Dude: far be it from me to shade one of my favorite and respected Lizards , but: Mrs. Anymouse isn’t (AFAICT) running for President Of Slovenia; - your language skills aren’t an issue here.

But yeah, international languages (of which Spanish is most certainly one) have a LOT of regional variation. First anecdote: I recall going diving in Mexico once with my (late) best friend - a Cuban-American: he lost his watch, and while listening to him trying to ask the Mexican dive shop (on the phone) about it, I realized that the Mexicans had a hard time understanding his Cuban accent - he had to repeat things. Rather like a Scotsman trying to communicate with a Cajun (another thing I’ve heard) in English….
