i once worked with a PR and cuban --who were also word nerds, but in spanish.

they constantly 'traded' words (like we english speakers do--(dustman Vs san man or garbageman, skip Vs dumpster, bonnet vs hood, boot vs trunk))

In NYC there are many different spanishes spoken.. PR, cuban, south american, mexican, --even occational, spanish spanish! there might be a predominate 'version', (PR i suspect, for most of the vocabulary) but i am sure there are pockets of other version.

my other obsession
