If not utterly false and defaming. ANY educated Spanish speaker could talk to any other one from the whole Latin America in the spot. We are not talking about hicks with a deep and harsh accent such as some Andalusian farmer and some Northern Mexican paisano from Nowhereland. (Kinda like mixing an Appalachian and a Scottish).

The Internet seems like a small place, and lately, I always find you talking in a demeaning way about the South of Spain and/or its people. :-)

I usually wouldn't engage further (as most people don't when faced with your harsh statements), but as a "hick farmer from Andalusia" myself, and your history on this topic, it hits too close to home.

You probably think you don't need to, but maybe consider checking how you are perceived and how you come across to people when you write the way you do.

This is my last interaction with you here or in any of the other platforms where we cross paths.

I'm from Spain and some elderly people un the South have a very hard accent to grasp. That's a reality. Andalusia, Extremadura and Albacete. The last one have been the hardest one to pick something.

The same happens with the Basque language/variants with some Uribe Kosta subdialects and some further away French Basque dialects.
