Probably a discussion on parts of the world that speak Spanish, the demographics of those who speak Spanish in the U.S.

I once worked with someone whose Spanish Army ancestor settled near Santa Fe in about 1598. The family still lives on the same land, and speaks the dialect of the Conquistors, Catalan or whatever, I don’t recall. He said he could barely communicate with Mexicans.

That is an easy assignment.

Complete unabridged list of Donald Trump’s lies.

The End

See, that was easy! :>)

OTOH, thanks to the teacher, the kid will be more informed. Maybe he can demand to read his paper to the class.

It may be best not to talk to them but then they think they are so brilliant that you don’t dare to contradict them. I like to just break out in a belly laugh at some stupid comment and then after I recover just look at the clown and say some thing like, “You really are an idiot aren’t you?”

English is surprising, in part, because it stabilized in the early to middle sixteenth century to the point where a modern American reader can read and understand a document in English that was printed at that time. That's more than four centuries ago. However, if you go back four centuries before that to the twelfth century, "English" documents are almost unintelligible.

“Why are they discussing Trump in Spanish class anyway?”

Because they were done talking about the awesomeness of the tranny lifestyle?

Or compose a paper of the lies and errors made by CNN in the past 15 months since Trump was inaugurated. Hand that in. Watch heads explode.

Printing press first used mid 1400s? Would explain what came after (stability of writing) and what came before (unintelligible).

You've got it as to the date. First paragraph of Wiki entry on Gutenberg: "Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg (/joʊˈhɑːnɪs ˈɡuːtənˌbɜːrɡ, -ˈhænɪs-/ yoh-HA(H)N-iss GOO-tən-burg;[1] c. 1400[2] – February 3, 1468) was a German blacksmith, goldsmith, printer, and publisher who introduced printing to Europe with the printing press. His introduction of mechanical movable type printing to Europe started the Printing Revolution and is regarded as a milestone of the second millennium, ushering in the modern period of human history.[3] It played a key role in the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific revolution and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses.[4]" English began to be intelligible to modern readers starting with the late fifteenth century.

“...the Mexican version of the language was horribly mangled and the place to go was somewhere in central or South America, where it was properly spoken.”

My dentist immigrated from Brazil three years ago.
Being that Portuguese is spoken in Brazil I asked how they got on with their Spanish speaking neighbors.
He said that the Spanish spoken in most of SA is close to that spoken in Spain (he’s been there).
The further north you travel the more the language drifts.
The Spanish in CA is a little different but still easily understood.
The “Spanish” spoken in Mexico is an alien mish-mash that he can’t understand. According to him it barely resembles Spanish at all.

His grasp of English is excellent and his accent is barely detectable.
He immigrated because of the soaring crime rate in SA and better economic possibilities here.
He was a practicing dentist in Brazil but had to take his last two years of Dental School again, on his dime.
Best dentist I have ever had.

I put in a bunch of blank lines but the auto editor stripped everything but a double space out. I’ll try some thing like ampersands next time, one per line. The whole thing reminds me of a kid who was assigned to draw a sketch of the most memorable weather event he ever saw. He handed in a blank piece of paper with the title “Blizzard of 1978”.
