Latin America was colonized mainly from Seville and Cadiz, that is why we dont pronounce the "th" sound

That makes sense. However it is odd that in other places of Andalusia or Extremadura the opossed phenomenon is common also (at some places even more common, as in Cadiz). I mean pronouncing a strong /th/ not only with -z- or -ci- -ce-, but also instead of -s-, known as "ceceo". I wonder if there is any ceceo in any American country.

So it looks like they use "tu". Yet the verb forms are for "vos". [For the future tense, the verb forms for "tu" and "vos" apparently coincide.]

Also, they write "completes", which is the subjunctive for "tu". For "vos" it should have been "completés" (with an accent).

Besides, "lee" (tu)->"leé" (vos).

It seems that the author of the text is not precisely Borges, so i would not care too much about where he places his accents and such.

It seems that the author of the text is from a country where they use both "tu" and "vos".

[The Vagabond]

By the way, it is "tú", not "tu".

Errr... yes, it is called Argentina, as has been already stated.

[Barnabas]

It is not wrong, the subjunctive is conjugated like with tú

Argentines say

Ni lo pienses! not, ni lo pensés!

Something else which is conjugated as with tú is

tu escuchaste / vos escuchaste/comiste/hiciste

not escuchastes / comistes which would be what would make sense since

vosotros escuchasteis without the i is escuchastes

Muchas gracias una vez más, Barnabas.

Vos me lo explicaste bien.

Según Wikipedia lo hay en algunos lugares de América, pero en rincones aislados.

Te salió perfecta la oración

Oops. It seems I fell into a habit.

What did the nun think about that event?
