I learned Spanish in Honduras. Never heard anyone ever use the Spanish lisp.

[sik0fewl@lemmy.ca]

The Spanish king with a lisp is a flk etymology.

If it were true, then 's' would also be pronounced that way.

Yeth marthter.

I had a (white American) friend who insisted on pronouncing every Japanese word he got to in a sentence with the proper heavy Japanese accent/pronunciation, and he sounded like a fucking idiot. It's a strange phenomenon.

What's the name of someone speaking a foreign language?

[merc@sh.itjust.works]

What is the colour of wind?

[cethin@lemmy.zip]

Yeah, it's weird. Sometimes people think it's pretentious and sometimes people think you're an idiot, whether you do it correctly or not. Like all rules with the English language, it's a case-by-case issue. If anyone tells you a rule to remember it, it's likely wrong more often than it's correct.

That'th great newth!

Nah, I'm good. Diamonds don't look good on me. Emeralds and rubies on the other hand look positively smashing on me.....

[therealkuni@lemmy.world]

Well of course not. It’s a feature of the Castellano accent in Spain.

[captainlezbian@lemmy.world]

And sometimes not doing it is. Versailles? Frenchify it unless you're talking abouta small town in Kentucky. Paris? Pronounce it the same whether it's the one in France or in Texas. Milan? Honestly no clue and I live here (America, not italy)

Ahh yes I completely forgot that the monarchies of European nations only existed for the last 300 years and are in no way historically backed by a religion that's existed for almost 2000 years which was has a hole book very significanly based on another religion dating back 5000 years. And I totally forgot that Christmas was a totally unique winter holiday that definitely didn't borrow any traditions from Yule and the Norse or Saturnalia and the Romans which as we all know is not where Vatican City is located nor did the Roman Empire make Catholicism the official state religion in the 300s AD. And wow I totally forgot the english language was completely perfectly formed as it is today less than 300 years ago and isn't the result of milennia of linguistic adaption of half a dozen different languages.

And I completely forgot to worship my culturally mandated Trump and Oprah statue this year and instead celebrated the Feast of the Seven Fishes and served a big pasta dinner on Christmas Eve and Day that has historically nothing to do Italy or the Italian migration to the United States. Ahh how could I be so careless and thoughtless and wow my memory is so bad.
