Very true! But in my opinion, Castillian Spanish is a lot easier than Latin American Spanish, which is mostly slang.

because there are some many dialects , from Tex mex , Mexican, central American , Argentinian , Peruvian, quatamalan .... in Argentina the double L makes a j sound instead of y and they seem to slur their words , not a crisp language

I went to Argentina and it took me 2 days to discover the j sound lol I was so confused. But the slur is a slight lisp, which a lot of Spanish speakers use when pronouncing "s" most of the time. But the Argentinian Spanish is so beautiful, due to the Italian dialect. I love it.

Spanish from Spain is definitely the true Spanish. But by now, there are many many dialects like you mentioned. Just like every language out there. It's inevitable.

I have to keep these things in mind when I compose sentences for people to whom english is a second language.

Billy Wilder was a movie director from Germany, for whom english was a second language.  His films are famous for having wonderful english dialog.

Pinneapple looks like a pine cone and the apple defines a common fruit. So there is rhyme and reason in calling it pineapple. The hamburger also has plenty of logic. The writer needs to do his homework. My 2 cents

I beg the differ. English has ancient roots. Forget what you learned in school or what "linguists and historians" tell you.

Indeed, it is easier to make fun while remain ignorant than do the research yourself.
