[belamyi]

El castellano-español es un idioma de 500 millones de catetos que se tienen por iguales de angloparlantes o francófonos en virtud de obras literarias que nunca han leído, mientras su peso en el ámbito económico y científico es poco menos que igual al de la lengua de los catetos regionalistas que desprecian con la boca llena.

I think I just ascended to divinity. My quote was so ill JUB posted it twice.

That's a common glitch. It happens to me just about every time my browser asks if I really want to leave the page because I might lose content, and when I click "yes", when my post shows up the text is doubled.

^ Is it that polite with you because you are in the Canadian area of influence?

Because with me it just does it the Spanish way, right away without asking for any permission whatsoever.

Could be.

Oh, Canada... I miss the days when a U.S. or Canadian driver's license was sufficient for crossing the border either direction.

Here's where the change began:

"Mr. Chairman, on September 11, we were attacked by terrorists who took advantage of weaknesses in our border security. After infiltrating our country, the terrorists were able to conceal their real identities, and thereby plot their attacks without fear of being apprehended".
-- Congressman James Ryun

Wait!

Did belamo actually post something worth reading?!

I know, right?.. it was a bait!

Through an American frontier with God's realm of the heavens... and through the screening of the FBI, CIA and what not.


But, as usual, let's just appear to DO SOMETHING starting with the easier, blaming-on-the-others, way.

What struck me first was that whoever wrote that makes "v" and "r" very, very similar -- I was stumped a moment at "racaciones".

That would prove that Spanish is not your mother language or, at least you are not very C2 on it (or is it "about it" ), so you do attentively read every single letter

... and get burnt with them.

I "attentively read every single letter" in English, too -- also in Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. Though it's more that I read a word as written and if it doesn't make sense my reaction is, "Wait a minute -- what was that?" And in this case, since my Spanish vocabulary isn't huge, I had to pause for a millisecond and wonder if "racaciones" was actually a word before my brain said, "Duh -- it's "vacaciones", just look at the context!"

^ Happens all the time

 

[Kulindahr]

^ Happens all the time

I suspect my acute awareness of each and every letter came from dealing with ancient Hebrew written in sloppy letters jammed together with no spaces between words and no vowels, on broken pieces of pottery or scraps of paper, along with having photocopies of pages with holes in them and edges often missing. I used to think of that as fun! Though I never got to the point that a couple of classmates did, able to see a set of page fragments with only a dozen or so words each, also with no spaces between words, and with only a few seconds consideration say, "Oh, this batch here belong to the same page, it's from the sixteenth chapter of Isaiah (or some other section)" -- although that talent isn't needed so much now that every letter in every variation of copies of things like the Old Testament or the Egyptian Book of the Dead are now on computer so if you enter the bits you've found it will compare them to the know texts and return an answer in a few seconds.
