Oir/escuchar

I think that oir means to hear and escuchar means to listen, but I note that escuchar is often used to express the hear. For example: no te escucho instead of no te oigo. Is this a regionalism, or is my understanding of the two verbs wrong.

You got their meanings right, but we do tend to mix them up in daily speech. ;(

'blá más fuerte que no te escucho

typical Argentine.

Argentine "no te escucho bien" and Mexican "¿qué me ves?" are among the most irritant massive mistakes.

Qué me ves confuses me. Is it a command like qué me veas? Does it mean como luzco?

"¿qué me ves?" is a more defying version of "¿por qué me estás mirando?" though it has meanings in proper Spanish ("¿qué me ves?" = "¿notas algo diferente en mí?" or "¿notas algo en mí que te llama la atención o que no debería estar allí?")
