Gringo.  Don't mind Fernando.  Or me.  Else we will have the moderators on us.
I wonder if there has ever been a case of the moderators in one forum getting
banned by the other ?

I don't know about dialects from different parts of Spain and I don't have that
many occasions to talk to people from Spain.  But, whenever I've heard it, the
"zzzz" or "th" does jump out.  Overall, I like the sound, sort of elegant, and I
don't have any trouble understanding it.  Hovever, Fernando is not the first
native speaker I've heard say they sometimes have difficulties.

Now the Cubans, who just randomly omit parts of the words, are another story.

Best
Dan H.
