hola senor mike pukett,
muchisimas gracias por sus palabras. cuando uno gringo con sus educacion dice este a mi, yo pienso yo es einstein. gracias, gracias, gracias.
now granted my spanish is nuttin but street spanish, but an american with as many hispanics as we have and the millions more that we will have is an idiot to not learn at least enough to order tacos, a beer and flirt with a girl. not to mention the fact that spanish is the language of the majority in our little global corner of the world known as the americas. that gringos react so importantly about english is a pathetic hoot.
language is transient. things change. the globe is smaller every day. the e.e.u.u., or as you know it, the usa, is being left behind. if you think english is important just think of all those dead languages from attic greek to latin to sioux, crow, and and and. which do you think will join them first, english, spanish, farsi, or chinese? stuff happens. be flexible. get over yerselves. enjoy life. learn a few languages and you’ll be less anally absorbed. believe it or not there is a lot of great stuff out there to discover. use up dem passports,fill em wid stamps from all over, you’ll never regret it. i took the drive from oregon to costa rica, wow, talk about an education. an adventure. as a rule, gringos are way too inflexible and ethno centric. here let me put it another way. a great people have no need to go around chest thumping and telling everyone how great they are. besides our mouths, we have eyes and ears. use em.
