    I’m so tough. I’m the toughest. Gen Z and Boomers aren’t tough enough. I’m the though one. Yeah, I might have been neglected as a child but that made me tough, definitely not emotionally stunted. Tough tough tough. I’m tough.

    When Spain invaded Latinamerica, they recorded the language of the natives phonetically but there were a lot of sounds that didn’t have an Spanish equivalent so they just wrote X for all of them and now they’re trying to retroactively fix the spelling of several words so you’re kinda right. For example, Spain insists México is spelled Méjico.

    Edit: Apparently, as of recently, Spain no longer insists México is spelled Méjico but still keeps it around as a correct spelling (it’s not, it’s literally only them).
