lol well we do in a way. We are the Spanish-speaking country that's less in contact with foreign languages, that's why Mexican and all the originally Spanish-speaking cultures have developed their own dialect and sound kinda different nowadays and there's also a great deal more slang usage due to its contact with English. But I meant formal as in the way the pronouns are used. In Spain we say: ¿Cómo estás?, notice the S that makes it informal; in South America they'll say: ¿Cómo está?, and use the pronoun "usted" instead of "you"; we only do that when we're speaking in a high level of formality.
everything is relative and contradictory ~

i have ben taught to use Yo, Tú, El, Ella, Usted, Nosostros, Vosotros, Ellos, Ellas, Ustedes.
I think that vosostros is the formal one... happy for ChevalierHaji (hes engaged!!) madilscoops- older sis dad- drakenjecht cousin- XxVampireXBellexX am the royal spy of :AkuenKigahen cookie-usernameftw assitant in crime- Slykaz1 twin of mark duff evil twin of iceshot67 madilscoops is my reeses peanut butter cups hentaro- my ham sandwich hot brother-xXRyuseiRocketXx |

well we also use "como estas". we only use "como esta" for grownups, that means we have respect towards them. |

it is just that in different countries we say it differently but we still understand each other. |
