Correct in one sense, incorrect in that, just as with English, there is the
"right" way to speak it, and the way it is really spoken- "you say tomayto,
I say tomahto..." - and who really says wed-nes-day, and not wensday?

I took 6 years of Spanish 20 years ago, so I win- plus I have several
Santana CDs...
I found a local market that sells bags of dried tepins- I have never had
them before- they're not all that hot, but have a cool "flash-burn"- are
the fresh ones any hotter? I'm going to try growing them this year-
