Hi Christopher,
on a pedantic note... (ahem) this is not correct. Nicaragüenses,
for example, use the "vos" just like in Argentina, i.e., badly
since "vos" is a contraction of "vosotros" and it is being used
as the second person singular familiar form (e.g., you) while
vosotros is the second person plural form (e.g., y'all).
But what the hell, whatever makes us different from the
"gallegos" is a good thing... :-)
