Er, he was referring to the Spanish "lisp" — really a more conservative pronunciation — that turns only CI and CE to TH sounds, not CA or some other combination of C with something else. Because "bethause" is just an abomination. In other news, I just recently heard that in Southern Spain the H is still pronounced, and it is in fact distinct from the J. The H is like the English H, but the J is like the German CH, so the pronunciation of "hijo" is apparently hilarious. I have yet to check up on this, but the idea amuses me. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I have no trouble with a real lisp. Getting the Spanish semi-lisp is hard for me, though, "espethially" in words with both S and C/Z. [Edit: I am writing in English, not Spanish. Use English words, not Spanish words.] —Alorael, who is amused by the plethora of extremely divergent Spanish accents. He once met a well-traveled man (Italian, of all things) with an amazing facility for picking up accents. He could switch from Spanish to Argentines to Mexican accents in a single sentence to hilarious effect.

Speaking a second language often can cause accents in your first. For example, in Spanish, e is pronounced like the a in cake causing my Spanish teacher to order a paper steak at a restaurant. :D By the way, I actually meant to include pc or mac in the poll, but that's another thing I managed to screw up. :( -------------------- Ignorance Is bliss -Cypher (Matrix) Don't think you can; know you can -Morpheus (Matrix) sanity is overrated :) Posts: 130 | Registered: Monday, February 7 2005 08:00 |

Actually, it may be good fortune that you didn't include a Mac/PC question. That's one of the most potent accelerants you can find on the Spiderweb Forums. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.
