Spanish people hate Latin Americans' spanish and viceversa, and the actual people to an extent.

Mexican Spanish* There's are a few differences between Latin American Spanish languages and European Spanish, which I can't provide examples of.

lofi n chillhopMay 17, 20161 votes

but we all make a habit of emphasize whether we're talking in american english or british english. or Wisonsin english.

ninjaIRL May 17, 20161 votes

I don't think so. I think the difference between European Spanish and Latin Amerian Spanish(es) are no where as close as the difference between the Americanized English and UK English. (Personally never heard of Wisonsin).

http://www.fluentu.com/spanish/blog/differences-between-castilian-and-latin-american-spanish/ This source seems credible.

The differences between the Spanishes is more than spelling, and pronounciation (which are the most common differences in daily interchange between US Eng and UK Eng). Whole words from one language are ommitted from the other and some words have COMPLETELY different meaning from one to the other. I don't think I know any or if there is any between US Eng and UK Eng. If someone out there does know then I doubt it has any real impact to daily interactions between the two.

There are definitely some meaning differences between US and UK English. In the US, a boot is a heavy shoe, and the trunk is the storage area of an automobile. In the UK, a boot is the storage space of an automobile, and a trunk is a large suitcase. Spanish is still probably on a higher order of separation because of differences in formal pronouns (although I couldn't really gather from the article you linked what exactly the differences are).

I think Wisonsin is a typo of Wisconsin, and it's just a jab at regional accents/dialects. I don't know much about Wisconsin, but I can't imagine it's further separated from US English than Louisiana Creole.

the wisconsin reference was half a joke and half a comment on locational dialect being different within the language themselves.

I didn't know spanish was so different between the two

GorantharonMay 18, 20161 votes

There are considerable dialect differences.

Just ask a Brit about a fanny pack.

On the basis of grammar, English as a whole has a lower complexitiy level, so it's much more likey to still be in a recognisable range. In that matter Spanish does have much more critical variations, but don't underestimate how many subtle misunderstandings happen between UK and American people, because of a phrase not carrying the same meaning.

There's also many differences between internet English and American English which I hope I don't need to provide examples of.

Ignorant American comment inbound: is there much difference between Australian English and UK English?

theDeblinMay 18, 20163 votes

The grammar is the same in all three dialects, but the vocabulary is different. Australian dialect is actually more similar to the US's version than the UK version (most of the words are spelled the same) but it has a substantially different set of colloquialisms from either and the occasional bit of British phrasing slips in.

Typically the Australian dialect is considered to be the same as the US version. The US's is basically the "standard English" around the time that the empire collapsed, and while both branches made various changes, the ones the Brits made were mostly stylistic and never really spread, whereas the ones the Americans and their allies in the former colonies made were mostly related to things we'd invented or manufactured and sold and spread pretty easily.

It didn't help the UK's version that they were mostly adding more Francophones and latinized pronunciations in a pair of centuries where France's global influence was falling off even faster than the British Empire's.

Well, if you consider spelling as a part of grammar, they most definitely are not the same among all three. I don't go spelling favour with a u. Silly Brits.

*language, not dialect. If it has an army that can force you to say "language", call it language.

i speak spanish and i couldnt figure out how trace = tres sorry :C

theDeblinMay 18, 20161 votes

If you look at the pronunciation notation they're literally the same word. So you're either pronouncing the Spanish word incorrectly, or doing the same with the English one.

dragon n1njaJun 3, 20161 votes

My spanish is pretty perfect I would say, same with english, 3 is pronouced "trehz" ....but trace is how I see people who are learning spanish pronouncing it.

How on earth do you guys pronounce "trés" to have it sound like "trace". Twaeiys?

EDIT: Nice downvotes, guys seriously tho. "E" is either é or è, not a + ae + è + é + i + y.

it's a pun. So it's not that they sound EXACTLY alike, just very similar. I think most people (hopefully) can understand that tres and trace and pronounced two different ways... D=
