Of course. I have a lot of friends from the beautiful South America... and the difference is obvious.Hey, fellas, the same way the British complain that Americans have quit using English for years now, and Portuguese and Brazilian get into fistfights about the meaning of the word "rapariga ", it's just a case of the latitude American Spanish speakers have taken from the orthodox Iberian counterparts. Lots of Mexican guys i've talked to say that Iberian Castillan sounds too "regal " or "antiquated ". I think it's just a wonderful thing . They may still call it "Spanish ", but it's their language, for them to mold as they see fit, same way we carved Portuguese, Castillan, Catalan, etc, out of Latin.
So we call "español" everything, but the spanish from Spain is "castellano" (from Castilla).
And yeah, it's way more "regal" and has evolved in different ways after centuries.
Look, both cultures dub both tv series and films to spanish... but the "latin version" is not the same as the "spanish version".
The way we talk (we use more "vosotros" and they use more "ustedes"), the slang...
So you gotta laugh when someone wants to lecture you without knowing a thing about it.
I don't want to keep going on about this.
Let's focus in the multiple ways the dad is gonna fuck-up whoever dared to touch his daughter...
