===English as a second language=== Some English-Spanish [[cognate]]s primarily differ by beginning with ''s'' instead of ''es'', such as the English word ''spectacular'' and the Spanish word {{Lang|es|espectacular}}. A native Spanish speaker may conscientiously hypercorrect for the word ''escape'' by writing or saying ''{{Not a typo|scape}}'', or for the word ''establish'' by writing or saying ''{{Not a typo|stablish}}'', which is [[Archaic word|archaic]], or an informal pronunciation in some dialects.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Huebner |first1=Thom |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6BGdnKa2zcUC&pg=PA124 |title=Crosscurrents in Second Language Acquisition and Linguistic Theories |last2=Ferguson |first2=Charles A. |date=1 January 1991 |publisher=John Benjamins Publishing |isbn=978-90-272-2463-7 |pages=124}}</ref>
