in DR there are generally two major spelling tendencies. there is dumb and humble, who write everything B: bendo burros. and there is dumb and posh who spell everything with V: vendo vurros.
but whoever wrote lioner fernandes is dumb and dumber.

oh, that's to save money. spaces take... well... space. and in a long text message that may mean your operator will break the message in half and you will pay, god forbid, for two messages.

Don't forget some fellow posters consider such way of writing as a normal and perfectly acceptable evolution of spanish...:tired:

His price is half of the price Induca gave me, but I'm afraid the quality will be a quarter as 'mediocre'

I was thinking maybe I should reply in his language to not offend him, but he probably doesn't notice or thinks I'm illiterate.

Not necessarily. I know a few manual workers of that kind who are real artists and are very inexpensive. I've never chatted with any of them, but I'm sure it would be something like that.

many many dominicans speak a dialect imo, it is ok as long as they understand each other, and it does not differ too much from regular spanish

I wonder how far from french is the haitian dialect, Creole?

do people from Ciabo region speak a dialect? it is/was clearly diffent from south coast speakers

btw long ago I found the word aguatia online, or i think it was aguaita.com, even a poster here have that 'name'

to my surprise it is a 'legal' word, check dictionary, the same for other words i though were 'dominican words' only, not recognized by the 'Academy'

Russia may want push Esperanto as a worldwide official language, UNESCO is/was doing it, as they did long ago to help 'un-divide' Russians, Jews, Poles and Germans.

but dominicans may do it again, creating 'espanto',

btw i think dominicans got too much influence dealing with Haiti in the past, Haiti even ruled over DR for a couple of decades, so the regular spanish accent 'went south'

In DR only some news reporters and high profile individuals speak 'standard' spanish, without the strong accent.

In the past I could not understand what dominicans say, as I missed a few words while they speak, not to mention the accent.
