No there is a rather large difference, but it wouldn't seem so from your definitions, which, while pretty close, are still way off.

Hey, take it up with dictionary.com, not me.

I can see you're much less anal than me, because you obviously didn't look at the dicionary.com definitions.

Oh yes, I read that, and your definition was still wrong. A latino/hispanic, as you said before, is not someone who speaks Spanish. Someone who speaks Spanish (if you learned Spanish, would you be a latino? What about Brazilians, are they not latino?) is different from spanish descent. I didn't spell it out it before, because, Jesus, I thought you would have figured it out.

And you didn't show the definition for Spaniard so I guess that means you realize your definition was wrong.

So, now that this has dragged on, all my fault of course, back to my original point:

For me at least, when you use 'Spaniards' to refer to people from latin america, it just sounds ignorant because latinos are no where near being Spaniards -- which has a precise meaning of being a native or inhabitant of Spain. If you had even used 'Spanish' instead of 'Spaniard' it wouldn't have sounded so grating, since Spanish at least sounds a lot more ambiguous. Or if you had used 'Mexicans', still not exactly right but a whole lot closer.

I didnt mean someone who spoke spanish, in any aspect is a spainiard.
I dont even know how this conversation has gone on as long as it has.
I simply meant "the spanish speaking tribe".
As I stated early on, way down there.
It does not mean I think everyone who speaks spanish is a spainiard.
It doesnt mean I didnt know what a spainiard was.
It doesnt mean anything you're making it out to be.
It simply means 2 things.
That 1: I couldnt think of the name of the tribe and 2: I thought someone would understand what I meant, without having an adverse effect to sand in their vagina.
