Original, historically inaccurate version is now archived on LJ. Thanks goes out to songsmith, whose schools had better history programs than mine.
Dear authors:
My ancestors may possibly have been Spanish.
However, there is the same amount of evidence that they were Chinese.
Or American.
Or Mexican.
Or Japanese.
Or Irish.
Or Russian.
Or even another nationality altogether. The Spanish hardly had a monopoly on Pacific piracy in the early 1900s.
Please, stop calling me a "Spaniard" and giving me a "Spanish" accent.
And even if I did have Spanish ancestry, the centuries between my ancestors' arrival in Narnia and my time would have eradicated comprehensive Spanish from our vocabulary.
Please stop making me speak Spanish, however "sexy" you find it.
~Caspian the Tenth
P.S. Please don't call me a Latino either. *shudder*

"You men and women of Telmar, will you go back to that island in the world of men from which your fathers first came?" Aslan, (PC)
"One was the mouth of a cave opening into the glaring green and blue of an island in the Pacific, where all the Telmarines would find themselves the moment they were through the Door" (PC)
Point: Caspian is not a "Spaniard," and he doesn't speak fluent Spanish. Especially not Google Translate Spanish.
