i think it is useful to KNOW street dominican spanish. nothing wrong with extending your vocabulary. since i love reggaeton my workers translate popular songs for me: first what is actually being said and then what it means. miesposo is useless here because he does not understand any of the barrio speak. his spanish is very prim and proper.
at the end of the day i learn a little of both worlds and i use a little bit of both worlds. when really annoyed i can whip a speech that would make daddy from this video sound like a cheerful puppy. i love swear words in any language, there is no other group of related words that has this flexibility and the power of expression. but alas, you cannot curse all the time, otherwise there would be no point cursing. so i curb my lexicological enthusiasm and speak like everyone else. my vocabulary changes depending whether i am in a farmacia joking with workers or in a public office, trying to resolve things.
