I had my education in public schools in Argentina, and I always studied
Castellano, and so do all Argentineans who go to school. In my country
there are also many people that don't know the Spanish flag (among many
other things); but the fact remains that the Spanish language is
Castillian, regardless of where you may have been born, so there is
really no need to make a distinction.
