Moreover, I suppose every inhabitant of a Spanish-speaking country will defend their "dialect" of a language and therefore Mexicans will say that Spanish used in Mexico is the best and Spanish from Valladolid will stick to their Castilian.

Very true indeed ! And it is only right and proper to take pride, and express your pride in your own dialect or variant (like I do myself, of Finland-Swedish ;o). We must always be careful though, to respect that others too, are proud of theirs and not promote our own preferences by detracting from that of others.

Patuco I think nobody has offended others' dialect and I believe we are all here enough tolerant and well-mannered not to do such things.

I didn't think that anyone had offended anyone else, I was merely agreeing with Hencke. I also agree with you that the members of this forum have good manners and are tolerant of others.

I agree, and I didn't mean to imply that anyone has offended anyone else in this thread, nor does it generally happen in this forum.

I just meant that we should be wary of the danger.

Yes, I agree too. I was just a bit "suspicious" when I saw your "Hear hear!", it looked as if you were trying to point out somebody's vice. Sorry for misunderstanding. In addition, I should add that this forum is one with the best-mannered, most friendly and willing to help people. Thanks Francois for creating this forum and thank you people for building it too!

Perhaps because we have decided to learn about other cultures via languages, we are naturally more tolerant and helpful :)

Anyway, I think that we've drifted off topic slightly...
