Why do guys keep saying we ricans talk spanish? We don't speak español or inglés, we speak spanglish.  :smarty:

One thing I love about Tejanos is they will just randomly switch between Spanish and English when talking to each other.  Sometimes mid-sentence.  I am sure they do it mid-word as well sometimes.

It's fun to watch my nieces' and nephews' post on FB. They don't even realize that they're doing that, which makes it all the more funny to me.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

English is like a virus. When I was over there I would often switch languages midsentence when talking to my Spanish speaking friends. It just comes.

To be frank, most of the time it requires less work to say something in English than it does in Spanish. Latin languages are too fancy.

I used to post in the Paradox OT loooong time ago, even had an account in Languish when it first started. Nostalgia takes over you as you grow old, I suppose; talking to Larchie I remembered this place and here I am

You know what ruins Puerto Rico? Too many damn Puertoricans. <_<


And those thinking culture or lifestyle is very different from any other state, you are wrong. And the language? No problem, there are people living in Miami for 50 years that have never had to learn english, there is no need.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

If we lived in a sane world that wasn't driven by identity politics, I think the US would be forcing Puerto Rico to become a state with Puerto Rico resisting. It is crazy they get an income tax exclusion and are contemplating giving it up.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

One of my favorite moments from the republican primary was when Santorum thought he could win Puerto Rico with a platform for them to become a state but learn english first.
