Yeah, but spell-correcting software is nothing new. Many browsers even have it built in now. I can look past grammatical errors in a non-native speaker, but at least get the spelling right.

If you've taken the time to learn another language, why not do it correctly? Otherwise you might as well have just let a machine translate for you. :(

Maybe he's to busy learning a 4th language while we're lazy and settle on one?

Sorry, but from my experience,  U.S. citizens, are much worse at learning second languages. We expect other people to do the work to accommodate us, but don't put in the effort to accommodate others. Just my 2 cents.

My first language is Spanish and my second one is English. And yeah it is true, learning a second language like Spanish ain't no stroll in the park! Spanish words are very complicated and they involve a lot of accents and symbols. Hell I still have trouble writing paragraphs in Spanish because of all the accents and stuff, and that's my first language!

Well, we already know English, and everyone else speaks it, to some point so why bother? Besides, depending on where you live, there arent any other countries around to where we would have to learn another one. Mexico to the south, Canada to the north. Its not like Europe where you can drive through 4 countries in a day.

Im not trying to sound ignorant or anything, just saying.

Yeah, that, and the fact that we have to settle on one language to communicate with each other particularly when it comes to science, business, etc.  Right now, that language is English.

I dunno.  Words like pato, pendejo, and mericon are pretty easy to memorize.  When you visit Mexico you just gotta remember to end all your sentences with chingando.

I knew PBJ would be on my side  :cheers: I also loved how you spelled mericon  :lol
