I've got even worse problems on this score:
My teacher for FS421 (Advanced Spanish Literature) is some dude from Boston who got his various degrees from scattered places in Spain and now thinks himself the authority on the Spanish-speaking world, even though a) he's never been south of Maryland, and b) he doesn't actually speak the language anywhere close to fluently himself.
I lived in Caracas (Venezuela) with my now ex-girlfriend for some years. I'd never studied the language before, and really haven't since, so I speak somewhat far from educated Spanish. Profe & I are always butting heads over how to say stuff, since he analyzes everything while I analyze nothing... I know something's right because it sounds right.
Whatever... the important part is to get your point across, no matter what teachers may say.
