I love aidahdz' response; so nice nasty! Anyway, I am not a native Spanish speaker, but I can tell the difference between Argentine (especially BA) Spanish and the language that is spoken elsewhere. While I was visiting BA, I asked the hotel desk clerk for the "llave," and had to repeat...

Bribes, pollution, fragile infrastructure? Those words could be used to describe New York City, the capital of the "First World!" So then, while BA, (and Argentina) is suffering (or rather experiencing) some difficulties, it doesn't approach the status of a "Third World" or even "Second World"...
