Also the second person singluar informal in some areas is vos instead of tu.

In Costa Rica, they use almost exclusively usted and ustedes for everyone (no tu/vos/vosotros). I often heard little children fighting, calling each other names in usted. Or also, parents talking to their children in usted.
Agreed. I've mentioned this before. In neighboring countries to Costa Rica, they use vos instead of tu. I thought I wrote something about that conjugation, but I couldn't find it. If anyone wants more information about vos, there is sure to be something on the Internet.
