Essentialist Explanations
Description
Simplistic, often humorous characterizations of languages: "X language is Y under conditions Z".
Spanish is essentially a dialect of Californian English used for increasing the value of real estate. (Gee, wouldn't this faux Spanish strip mall be worth $200,000 more if it was called Plaza del Mucho Dinero?)
