Mas de la mitad de los que escribieron algo en espaņol solo escribieron incoherencias sin sentido sacadas de traductores en Internet.
That means 'I love you' .
Spanish is my native tongue, and I speak only English besides that, though I can understand written Portuguese and Italian because it's similar to Spanish, and German from Rammstein songs. _________________ Libera me domine de morte aetema in die illa tremenda |

Better, most Americans I have met are very multi-cultural and multi-lingual. It's us Brits who can't be arsed to learn other languages! _________________ Helen, the Administratrix of www.area51newmexico.com

Damn that's soooooo not fair! I HAD to learn French (I got a C)! Plus, it's good for business if employees can speak other languages. I wish us Brits didn't use the excuse "oh well, everyone speaks English, so why bother learning theirs?" It's just damn lazy & rude! _________________ Helen, the Administratrix of www.area51newmexico.com

damn you all!!!! i can only speak spanish and english, and thats only cuz im an immigrant to america _________________ Actually, the solution to dispute resolution is rather easy. Get negotiators together from each side. If they fail to come to an agreement, shoot them both. It's not fair, but people will become quite agreeable after a few cycles of this. |
