Hugo “porque no te calles” Chavez - el mono feo.

You know we speak English in America. The rule on FR is English only and many of us can't speak spanish, nor do we desire to learn. So, you may have a very funny post, or maybe not, at any rate many of us won't know because you choose to be cute and post it in spanish, a language, I might add, that many in the US are starting to get sick of the sight and sound of.

Es posible que él no estaban hablando con usted. ¡Relaje! A veces las personas disfrutan de practicar su español.

Take it to the moderators. Given the content of the thread, the subject, and the importance of the topic, you will get little sympathy beyond mechanical deletion of the non-english post.

Rules are rules, though.

“spanish, a language, I might add, that many in the US are starting to get sick of the sight and sound of.”

If you cannot get washington on your side (and my side for that matter) then clearly the matter is academic.

I do think if I were to have kids in the US in this day and age, I would go to some effort to insure they learned spanish. It is going to be a tremendously important language in the US in the future, even in such obscure places as my birthplace in Mississippi.

Well, it goes like this. The “porque no te calles” is Spain’s Juan Carlos telling Hugo Chavez “Why don’t you shut up.” Mono feo is what Chavez reminds me of - an ugly little monkey. The guy makes me mad, so it’s more mean than funny. Very satisfying, though.
