what???

anyway, yo creo que no tendria nada de malo tener un foro en español, seguiremos por supuesto paricipando en los demas donde el idioma oficial es el ingles, pero un foro entre tantos que hay aqui que sea dedicado al idioma español para todos los amantes latinos del progre seria muy buena idea, porque hay muchisimos que somos latinos y amamos al progre, usando nuestro idioma nos seria un poco mas facil entender los puntos de vista y todo.

What REALLY freaks me out is how many different nouns there are for a BUS (depending where you are)
camión - Mexico, camioneta - Guatemala, chiva - Panama, autobús - Colombia, colectivo - Argentina, micro - Chile, guagua - Cuba



Yeah, generally you don't have trouble if you're not familiar with any differences in any words.

But, if something you don't know is offensive in the particular area you are, and you offend somebody, you find out reallllly quick.

I'm not a native speaker and stuff like that freaks me out.

Ugh..yeah.. they're break offs from British English. Especially Austrailian English. British English was the base for our American form of English, so yes. It is.

Maybe, but the most popular online language translators (primarily babelfish or whatever it is on altavista) are *awful* with handling any of the romance languages. It does a pretty good job with the German though.

It's especially bad with Spanish. I could see why it's not that good though. It's hard when there's Castillian Spanish and the t h o u s a n d s of Central and South American Spanish dialects.

Actually, although the site is unlikely to provide a specific place for any particular community to be "segregated" here, there have been various threads in non-english languages, and they have been, and will continue to be, permitted to remain.

So feel free to start a thread about any topic in any language you wish, and as long as members respond, those threads will remain as regular and viable as anything else.

Hope this works for you!

Peace.

no, its an english site

their shouldn't be discrimination against non spanish speakers like myself

Well the idea is basically that www.progarchives com it gave the space for us the great Latin American community and of Hispanic speech in general, to expose our subjects, our doubts, commentaries etc.etc. Serious entertained. In any case is only a proposal.
