I noticed that a lot of Dominicans have very poor spanish writing skills, I know this is to be expected from beach guys that dropped out of school when they were 12, but it is not just those guys. I noticed that a lot of well educated Dominicans (at least finished high school and attending university) have poor writing skills as well.
My old spanish teacher (a Dominican woman that has 2 university degrees of which one in spanish, even told me that when she attended university her TEACHER wrote vaca as baca...)
I know the DR is a poor country, but I've been to other poor Spanish countries as well (Guatemala, Mexico) and the educational systems wasnt so great there either, lots of drop-outs etc. But at least they could spell... (the ones that could read anyway)
So how come its so different in the DR?
