so they’re trying to really hammer the idea down that you need to speak #correct Spanish (which is assumed to be correct because the RAE determines it, don’t worry tho totally not a prescriptivist take)

they first argue that you’re supposed to do this “for reasons that should be obvious”… and that’s it, no further development

then they mention two “less obvious” reasons: one is because you’re supposed to be able to communicate “without interferences”… which, like, yeah that’s the only valid reason for standardization, but whatever

the other one is…….. to avoid being judged because of your accent or language manners

so if you’re being discriminated, the solution is hiding everything away and becoming #normal and #correct

I agree, I judge people who speak Spanish instead of a proper language, specially in the context of engineering
