I'm spanish...i know that, believe me :-P[/quote]

Yeah, I wasn't saying you didn't know that. What I was saying was that the accent marks don't really help me much with my Spanish pronunciation,...

It's not a joke. It's just an insult. I have no idea what it actually even means about the insultee, but one of my relatives regularly uses it, and it cracks me up. Perhaps it means someone was...

I'd like to bring it back. I like the term "pluperfect son of a bitch."

Oh, "Spanglish" is totally a stupid gimmick thing in most of the US, but it's significantly different near the border here. For one thing, it's systematic - there are conventions about which words...

I actually don't find Spanglish (or, rather, Tejano) offensive at all. Kind of funny at times, but not offensive. It's the natural result of the shifting US-Texas border. Then again, I'm not much...

I don't know if it'd qualify as a dialect, but there's definitely a "Tex-Mex" language down here in southern Texas. It's not Spanglish - it's this bizzaro code-switching. Businesses do the...

Yes.
