Spanish is actually phonetically perfect. Everything sounds the way it's spelled, with a handful of exceptions. But it's nowhere near as complicated as English can be!

On another note, Alec Guinness vs Richard Harris, Sophia Loren vs Connie Nielsen and Christopher Plummer vs Joaquin Phoenix...

Both Alec Guinness and Richard Harris are great, id take Sophia Loren over Connie Nielsen and Joaquin Phoenix and Christopher Plummer are great.

What irrates me is when I say I live in Kansas City.
Ppl outside of the state say Kansas. Yes, there is s Kansas City, Kansas and a Kansas City, Missouri. They are a duel city with their own government.
Even if I lead with " I live in Missouri." They still come back with Kansas City Kansas.
