Technically that is correct. The dialect Mexicans use is, however, not true Spanish. Use that dialect in Spain, particularly the Castile region, and you brand yourself as a "mark" to be cheated and taken advantage of in every possible way. In short; stupid.

Is the English we speak in the US "not true" English?

 

[The Irish Ram]

No, your children are idiots that can't even read and write. There is no "our" to it.

My children were honor students. Smarter than anything you could possibly produce. They don't hide behind John Wayne.
America's children can't write. They don't teach them how any more. They can't read our own constitution unless someone prints it out for them. They are being taught how to prance during story hour however. No wonder you approve...

That is false.

Correct.

But that spoken across Great Britain is not either. A collection of dialects - hard to imagine a native of French-tainted Hastings trying to converse with one born in North Yorkshire. Even in what used to be The United States hard to imagine a Georgian understanding a word spoken in "English" in Bar Harbor, Maine.

Ridiculous.

Ridiculous.

You really ought try to hear a little of the Bar Harbor dialect. But, alas, they have somewhat strict border controls.......temporary, of course, Covid, y'know......

 

[BackAgain]

no, they do not.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Uncle Joe trolled Otis Mayfield?

 

[Flash]

It's all "por favor" this, and "por favor" that... You know, Mexican.

How come every Mexican male is named Jose or Jesus and every Mexican female is named Maria?

Bar Harbor, Maine?

Consider for a moment if you, by whatever circumstances, found yourself in a social/cultural/linguistic environment you were completely unfamiliar with or prepared for. How well do you think you would have done in school under those circumstances? I am pretty sure I would not have done too well.

If your kids are anything like you, they are honed to the fine edge of a beach ball!

Hey shit for brains! That old bullshit about the Constitution being is cursive is a lie. Google an image for yourself.

The rest of your bullshit is a lie. Why do you use a broad brush to paint public schools as inferior when the reality is that they are usually superior to the self-serving home schooling crowd?

Keep peoples families out of this. Try to have at least a little class.

Then they should stay in their original country. Problem solved. Too many people come here not knowing English.

You should have lived in the 1850s.

She is the one who brought her kids in the mix. I merely responded in kind.
