[MrScorpio]

[ET Awful]

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

7. You Americans are crazy

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

[The Spirit of JFK]

9. Does it set you off more than.......

Pele was a sham....Maradona is the TRUE greatest soccer player of all time!


heh heh...




Of course I am joking....

[CanuckAmok]

10. Pele is a better actor than Maradona, though.

it's true.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

11. No. THAT makes me laugh uncontrollably instead. (nt)

[KamaAina]

16. True. Maradona was the best -- hands down.

Or should I say hands up? :evilgrin:

[blondeatlast]

12. That's bad; even I know why that's a boo-boo. nt

[Karenina]

13. But HOLD YER HORSES there fella...

ADVANTAGE: Portugese speakers. They grok Espanol (sorry, dunno where to find the diacritical) but native Spanish speakers no comprende, fuggedabouttit, Wie bitte? with Portugese. I've clearly observed that hundreds of times... (I can't really do either one, my plate full in the language dept.)

I'm missing the subtext. Please educate.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

14. Something I forgot to say

The reported corrected him, and he was like, "Really?".

[Karenina]

15. But is he bilingual ?

English/Spanish? Was it a something he had to memorize off an index card given to him? Are self-absorbed jocks expected to comprehend the complexities of geography and language? :shrug:

I might get upset if he were PRESIDENT or something. ;-)

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

17. Mabye he should have tried Mexican

Or Brazillian.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. Was it * who referred to "Mexican" as a language? Or somebody else? (nt)

[Xipe Totec]

21. 'scuse me, but Mexican IS a Language

The language of the Mexicas, also called Nahuatl and sometimes Aztec.

Spanish is also not Spanish, it is Castillian. Many Spaniards do not speak Castillian.

You already speak a few words of Mexica and don't even know it. examples:

Tomato, Maize, Avocado, Coyote, Peyote, banana, cocoa.
