Title: My Name
Post by: Krusty on May 11, 2007, 02:02:14 PM

Same way Mexico does. Original missionaries converted native populations many hundreds of years ago, spreading the Spanish language.


Ironically, the Spanish spoken in Spain isn't the same as spoken in Latin America.

Title: My Name

That's like saying you are English if you are from USA.  You speak the same language therefore you are English.

Furball, the folks in Mexico call it "Spanish." The folks in Spain call it "Spanish." The folks in USA call it "English." The folks in England call it "English."

It's just the name, doesn't mean it's the exact same language :) As you can see there are things you can say in England that a Yank wouldn't be able to follow at all.

I believe the difference between Spain/CentralAmerica is more than that, down to the way certain things are prononuced and spoken. More of a different language, but carries the same name. At least that's how a Spanish teacher explained it to me once.

I have a funny anecdote to fit here. I went to the USA to meet a few of my associates, most of whom I hadn't met before. Turns out, that out of 5 people there, 3 of them were British, 1 from NZ, and only 1 local. All of them were of course living there, but language was not quite what I figured to be the standard Yank thing...

Don't get me started...

Trees, Tree-eyes, tress, trezz, trizz...

Its pronounced like TRAYS. Its the French word for 13, I took it because a) Its also the name of my favorite character from the anime series "Gundam Wing", and b) The Romanian word (Treizepreseche) is just too damn long.

People have the fonetikal ability to call me "ozz" about 80% of the time, even after flying with me for over a year. I've gotten used to responding to both when ozrocker isn't in the area.

you can get pretty good cuban food in just about any major metropolitan area in the country.  also dominican, puerto rican, northern brasilian, northern colombian and panamanian food is about identical.
