They need another category for that poll: who gives a rat's rear end?

She's smarter than all of us because she's an actress living in Europe and that's the only thing that matters. So what if Spanish and Portuguese are two different languages, we common American peons aren't fit to question her.

Dunno. Had to read some of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's stuff in high school, "Sonnets from the Portuguese". But Liz's stuff was in English.

Gwenneth Paltrow? Hey Gwenneth, how do you pronounce "Dixit Chix" in Portuguese?

How do you say "Bite the hand that feeds me" in Spanish?

Her talk / interview that was later picked up and quoted in a "Portuguese" news source was originally presented by her in SPANISH.... And her after the fact claims of being misquoted was blamed (by her) on the EXCUSE that she was somehow weak in the Spanish language, and that she misspoke - using the wrong terms
