os pobre coitados não entendem o que é falar (ou escrever) uma língua suave e melíflua e assim é de se esperar que eles tentam inventar qualquer coisa para se desculparem de sua ignôrancia.
Por favor. Pobres ustedes, que tienen que hablar un idioma tan nasal. Supongo que sonaría yo medio brasileño con gripe. Y sus 'erres' que carraspean como medio franceses... ay de ustedes, en serio.

quote:
De vez em quando nos temos umas rixas para determinar qual é o idioma mais bonito- o espanhol ou o português. O bom da sua chegada é que agora teremos mais soldados de nosso lado para triunfar sobre os malditos faldores de espanhol.
Será dificil triunfar cuando la verdad es tan diáfana: el español simplemente ha producido mejor poesía, novelas y canciones que el portugués jamás. Y los españoles no usaban esclavos, así que existe una moralidad superior en nuestra cultura e idioma, también.

Ai! Sabia que a maldita tigelinha nao deixaria esta chance de mostrar sua ignorancia passar.

Quanto ao membro que usamos para falar portugues, certamente o nariz entra no assunto de vez em quando, mas pelo menos nao falamos pela bunda como certas pessoas que conheço. Como voce ousa pronunciar maior moralidade no seu canto? Maior hipocrisia sim, mas moralidade nao. Concedo que os espanhois nao tinham escravos, mas é verdade que tinham milhares de servos que tinham que trabalhar contra sua vontade sem serem pagos. Mas pelo menos nao eram escravos [Roll Eyes]

Americano ignorante que es, percebi que trocaste a ordem de suas palavras sem querer. Arruma-los-ei para ti: el español simplemente jamás ha producido mejor poesía, novelas y canciones que el portugués.

Oi!

a/s/language?

And anyone who wants electronic help with spelling should check out ieSpell. I love it. Easy to download, add-on for Internet Explorer, and really easy and quick to use. Even catches most of my typos
Gah I HATE spell checks of all kinds. The majority of them tend to "catch" my name, and then suggest that maybe I meant Manure?

When people talk about me in a language I don't understand I like to think they're saying I'm the smartest, funniest, most hottest thing to sizzle fo'nizzle on Hatrack.

Please don't destroy this delusion by translating.

Thank you,

Ralphie

Noemon, I guess I'd go for German or French in the west, and Russian in the east.

Tzadik's out for the weekend, but I know he took it from the Hebrew word. As far as I know it has no meaning in Slovak or Czech.

Tzadik! Howdy to "tha Boy!"

Okay, so you haven't got a clue who I am, but I'm Lissa's fellow sister in heresy. We're cool like that. Plus, my constant mocking keeps her humble - and we all know she needs it.

Hiya to you, too, Eduardo. Welcome to hatrack, both.

Q.

I'm not sure Tzadik knew I was a heretic, even by our special definition thereof...though really, if he hasn't guessed it by now... [Smile]

But PB, this was intended as advice for absolute newbies, just the bare-bones essentials of getting around. The discernment required to distinguish the P from the B identities generally requires time to develop, and needn't be attempted at all the first few months. You know?

Ah, yes, of course. We wouldn't want them to burn out and leave the forum. Very wise of you.

Hi Tzadik. I think I know of you by hearsay! Does your real name start with an "M"? Welcome to hatrack! This is the real gauntlet you have to run, you know. No pressure, or anything, though. Don't worry! [Smile] You liked Ender's Game, so you must be a keeper.

And welcome, too, to Eduardo_Sauron! People from outside the U.S. are always particularly welcome, because we need a broader perspective. Welcome, welcome! [Smile]

And both of you have excellent English. We will soon fix that problem! We will be bad examples and mix you up completely. But don't worry, the grammar nazis will then chime in and set everyone straight again.

Definitively English. You can easily find someone speaking a little English, which is enough to be understood.

Oui, sinon ça va devenir une vraie tour de Babel... Dangereux, sans compter que ce forum prêche pour l'amitié et la compréhension entre les peuples et les gens .
For those who wonder, I just told to stop speaking anything else than English because it's easier to understand and be understood [Wink] I also told that Babel tower is dangerous and that this forum is here for the comprehension between people.

People...let's stop arguing about Spanish and Portuguese (which is more beautiful, etc.), ok? Both are wonderful, rich languages, and powerful Latin offsprings.

Pessoal que fala português e me felicitou, muito obrigado! Já estou me sentindo bem em casa, por aqui! :-)))

*pat pat*

Nobody's really arguing here . . . it's just a friendly rivalry. If it seems more heated than that, it's just because we know each other well enough to not take each other seriously on this issue. Nobody's getting mad, I promise. [Smile]

Morning, back after weekend [Smile] Missed y'all.

to asQmh and ana kata:

thanks, I also have heard of you [Smile] Nice "meeting" you here, really. And yes, my name starts with M [Big Grin] Hope to talk more and eventually lear more about the heretic one [Smile]

to Rivka and Mrs.M:

Lissande is correct. I like it though, that's why I chose it.

Wow, this threat was rather active over the weekend! Impressive!

The first time ieSpell picks up anyone's name or sn, I simply click "Add" -- and then it will pick up when I mis-type it! [Wink]

As I mentioned, I like your handle, Tzadik. [Smile] Do you speak Hebrew? Or did you just happen to learn the word?

morning rivka, (at least it's morning here) [Smile]

no, don't speak hebrew - i know words, phrases, learnt the alef-bejt, but that was about it - I can read the letters, but they don't form words for me [Big Grin] I love the way hebrew sounds though!

So as far as picking up the handle - it was deliberate [Smile]

Good to be back here, how's life?
