Virgin Mobile has decided I speak Spanish.

I've had this cell phone account forever, always English.

I'm the only one in my family whose language skills are crap. Hell, English is pushing it and Spanish is over the edge.

Hunter usually sits there, "Wha???"

In college I always bought class notes or depended on friends to cover what I missed in lectures. (I'm visual and kinetic, write it down on the chalk board or wave your arms, please...) I can read and write English just fine, thank you.

I wonder if this means something?

Think I speak Spanish.

I don't know how...
My phone too sometimes changes in to Spanish type word correction.
Kinda frustrating.

How do they acquire this metric???

As for me, the only thing I can think of is my name.
As well as for the fact that my hotmail got hacked once by some spanish girl who used it for a month.

I still get spam...
