Oh No!:p

Are You still on Meds?:D

Yes, because it is so important to be grammatically superior on an internet message board.

opposed to any song lyric being translated.


also, French literature is best read in French. Just ask super-hottie Ashley Judd.

Pulp Fiction loses something when dubbed over with some Eastern European language (like on Hostel.) just give it subtitles, and you won't lose the very distinct delivery of Samuel L. Jackson's lines.

When Patti Griffin sings Mil Besos, it's sensual. An English translation of the song would sound corny and have an unnatural pace.

I am surprised that they used Royal Academy Spanish instead of Latin American Spanish. This is especially obvious in the 2nd person plurals.

It's just hilarious when people are complaining that anyone who comes here needs to learn/use English and most of them are doing it wrong.

But you love Jesus so it's all ok!!! :D

If you read the link in my first reply to this thread, it's the same topic in the SGRho forum. The OP, throughout her entire first post ranting about this, used the word "sang" EVERY TIME instead of "sung". I agree that you can't complain about other's English skills when you continue to make blatant mistakes with the English language.

It's important that they at least teach kids the basic spanish phrases they'll need to know as adults:

"Mow the front yard only."

"Clean all of the upstairs toilets."

"The floor needs to be vacuumed."

Kevin - :( I know you don't agree with it, but that was a pretty offensive "joke"...not exactly something I saw coming from you.

Four years ago, I got called to jury duty. When we were in the courtroom waiting for the attorneys to pick a jury, the judge asked "is there anyone in this room who doesn't speak enough English to understand me?" No one got up. When a Korean immigrant was brought to the stand to be questioned, he sat there with a confused look on his face and didn't answer. After someone was able to translate for him, it turned out that he is an American citizen, had lived in America for 32 years at this point, had a business, and yet, despite all of this, spoke virtually no English. I found it sad that after living somewhere for 32 years, it was possible to know so little about it. My grandparents moved to America 12 years ago, and while her English is far from perfect, my grandmother knows enough to get around and understand what people are saying.

Isn't this about like saying "If you're not here, say so" or "Anyone who is deaf, please speak now"? If they don't speak English, you CAN'T ask IN ENGLISH if people don't speak English. And even if they know enough English to understand that question, they aren't going to pick it out of the rest of the giberish they are hearing.

As joking as it might have been its pretty true, as sad is that may be.

SO HILARIOUS!! NOT. There is a big difference between misspellings/absent commas and not being able to write at all. I thought all Cooley students knew that :(

Offensive how? It's the truth that most of the border jumpers work as maids/day laborers.
