Help me settle a debate, please:

A guy said "Hola Amorcito bonito" to a GIRL

This is wrong, yeah?

I lived in ecuador for a time and had 3 electricians working under me who spoke no english, so I knew he was wrong and yet both the man (un gringo) and the woman he was talking to (una gringa) both argued with me that I was wrong. During the course of this exchange he told her "(el) no entendio español"

Then they went and defended that blunder too! Thing is, the guy I don't much care for, but I was forced to tell the girl that his (the man's) spanish sucks, his conjugation is shit and her defense of his horrible, half-assed pig spanish is leading me to believe that her claim of being fluent is suspect.
