That's very interesting. I didn't know that.
But yeah, I was including Mexico as part of North America, as it is usually considered to be. (Technically it is all North America as there is no Central American continent, but you know what I mean.)
But I know that the Spanish that is spoken in Guatemala is pretty different from the Spanish that is spoken in Belize and the Spanish that is spoken in Costa Rica apparently differs from everywhere else, since from what I understand they don't roll their Rs there.
I'm sure the slang and favored expressions differ as well. I remember that one of my Spanish teachers in Guatemala had nothing good to say about Mexican Spanish. He said it had been too influenced by English.
