Jan 20, 2018 at 5:06 comment added aparente001 I don't think the connection with lack of education, or lack of morals (not sure which you meant, @Gustavson,) is the general attitude in Mexico. My impression si that when someone speaks that way (se come las eses), people assume he's from an area reasonably close to the Gulf of Mexico - there being a correlation between low altitude compared to sea level, and how much S one omits.

Jan 19, 2018 at 15:17 comment added user0721090601 It's a good thing you mentioned the title for someone to look up. The s "omission" (it's generally aspirated to sound like /h/ and can affect the pronunciation of the vowels, normally lengthening them, and even when not aspirated, it can often almost have a glottal stop quality to it) is incredibly common across the Spanish speaking world, including Andalucía, the Caribbean, and large parts of South America.
