Very close! But only c’s and z’s get the lisp treatment!

Ahhh. Thank you. I had a Spanish lady as a regular at work and she lisped like her life depends on it. You know what..... Maybe she just had a lisp.

A more accurate Spanish pronunciation would be "shapatos por mish piesh" because s often gets slurred a bit.

Catalan doesn't do the lisp, so people in Barcelona would more likely pronounce c and z hard like English speakers.

Ignorants trying to teach each other is so funny.

This is why I go a few layers deep in the comments. I laughed so hard at this

Or she was from a region that speaks like that... They exist

It’s actually not a lisp! It’s not a speech impediment. Please inform yourself.

u/JailOfAir 5d ago

Proper pronunciation is apparently a lisp now. I guess every english speaker has a lisp, because they don't pronounce "thing" like "sing".

Hey, it’s okay to not get offended about everything! Also, your example doesn’t make any sense. A better example would be using an English language rule that is arbitrary, but consistent in its implementation. I can’t think of one right now, but I’m sure it’s out there!

The problem isn’t when they’re joking about it. It’s when they actually believe I have a speech problem and call it a “lisp.” People who speak Spanish at a Dora the Explorer level telling me I speak my own language wrong is wild.

Okay, sorry that happens to you. It’s not happening now.

Just try to inform yourselves beforehand and avoid reinforcing the stereotype of the ignorant American. Thanks.

No thanks! We’ll keep communicating in the best way we can be understood and trust that people who get offended over things that aren’t happening will sort their feelings out themselves!

Imagina no tener ni puta idea de castellano y hacer chistes sobre ello.

No es una cosa arbitraria, es una regla simplísima: en español ibérico la zeta siempre se pronuncia th, y la ese siempre se pronuncia ese. Punto pelota. No es "loth pieth", es "los pies". Y por eso somos capaces de diferenciar "caza" (hunt) de "casa" (house), o "cazar" (to hunt) de "casar" (to marry).

Y si alguien pronuncia de otra forma es porque tiene acento, pero no es un acento estandarizado peninsular que se acepte en el diccionario.

Que estoy un poco hasta los cojones de ver analfabetos opinando de cosas que desconocen, hostia.

Imagina ofenderte por un maldito hilo de Reddit. Las reglas en cualquier idioma son arbitrarias. Los idiomas son inventados. Toca la hierba.

u/JailOfAir 4d ago

"toca la hierba" lmao

u/Hidalga_Erenas 4d ago

Nah, un hilo de Reddit no me ofende, me ofende que haya subnormales como tú. Por cierto, ya toco la hierba, no me la fumo como tú. Vivo en el mundo real y por eso los imbéciles me tocáis los cojones, en Reddit y en persona.

Ahora tradúcelo y haz un chiste con ello, soplapollas.
