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' Wink.

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.

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!

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!
