What does an Argentine accent sound like to Spaniards and Mexicans? Pleasant/unpleasant? Hard/soft? Upper-class/lower class? Funny/Not funny?
But Franco, would you actually do anything about it if a stranger like moi were to address you as tu to your face? It's like how you don't actually express your views about people you don't like in public.

Italian "looks" more femenin than it sounds because Italian speakers move a lot their hands while they talk. It gets me nervous.

1) was vos originally the singular version of vosotros in mainland Spain?
2) is vosotros used anywhere in Latin America where they use vos?
