So the entire English speaking world should study the linguistics of Spanish in order to accommodate your specific annoyances, annoyances you have with bullies from Spanish speaking countries and not English ones? That's like getting mad with any regular person for saying "gnomes are short like dwarves" because you're a dwarf and some tall guy at school decided to bully you for being short and called you a gnome.
- david-gpu 3y agoA foreigner studying Spanish repeats an insult commonly thrown at Spaniards. A Spaniard very politely informs them about it. The foreigner doubles down instead of, saying something like "Hey, I didn't know that. Sorry for repeating a common misconception". You do you, man. Why learn and do better when you can show everybody your true colors? Have an excellent day!
- rcarr 3y agoNot only do words have multiple meanings, the intention of how they are used is also important. I didn't use the word as a noun or an insult, I used it as an adjective to describe the sound to a fellow english speaker. The fact that you are so offended about it speaks volumes about you because your attitude suggests you don't want to be associated with those with lisps, presumably because you see it as shameful.
