The  professor who was trying to 
teach proper Spanish from Spain was not  amused.>>>>
 
It was certainly Castilian Spanish at UW-Madison when I took the  language.
 
There was a subtle, but definite undercurrent in the Spanish  Department
(actually Spanish and Portuguese) that New World Spanish was second

When I read something aloud in Spanish, my partner giggles that I  sound
like a lisping Castilian.
