Grathias

Did you know that Spanish spoken in Spain is not exactly the same as spanish spoken in Latin America or the Carribean? This should come as no shock as American English is not the same as British English. But it wasn't due to rebellion that the changes in pronunciation happened.
     After the Conquistadores made their mark on the new Americas under Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand's reign, there was a Hapsburg King, Carlos II, who had a badly misshapen mouth amongst other deformities due, it was believed to Hapsburg inbreeding. Kings of the day, you will recall, were believed to rule by divine right, so it was believed he was God's gift to Spain ruling by divine right, and as such he must be perfect-lets pretend anyway. So his deformity and speech patterns as a result of his misshapen mouth (which appear in this portrait to have a bad underbite and sunken nose and upper lip) caused  the people to not want to offend him when he spoke to them-so the nobility started talking around the Court with the same speech patterns which resulted in a Lispification of language. In Spain they say GRATHIAS for Gracias. They
turn a lot of 'c's into 'th' sounds. It is a national lisp.

     Its a bit like when my Dad started going more deaf than usual everyone started yelling in the house.

When people want to court or curry favor with the Emperor and he has no clothes, you have two choices- either you ignore it or everyone goes naked. In Spain they did the later.

In America, what if I told you that Obama is BiSexual.
The whole country now has to accept that same sex marriage is a constitutional right?
