I am currently sitting at the table eating my tacos at my favorite taqueria. In case folks didn't already know, I am of Mexican decent, love and respect our culture and heritage but never forgetting how proud I am to be an American. (like Carlos Mencia once said, if we ever go to war with Mexico, know this America, I will lead the way) Anywho, I walk up to the register to order and this is what I see on the counter. Come on folks. LMAO. I explained it was spelled incorrectly and they promptly fixed it.

Ships!! Ha! Do they have frosting sails?

BTW, Carlos M is not even Mexican, bugs me that is tries to play it off that way.

I think his Mom is Mexican and his Dad is from Honduras, so he is what we call a Halfy.
 
I think he was born in Honduras, so I would call him a Mexican-Honduran-American... or as I would call him.. Typical American.. a little of dis... and little of dat...

Correcto, a million pesos (like ten bucks or something, LoL) for the Señorita.

It has a good rythm to it, kind of reminds me of that fatboy slim song weapon of choice.

I used to work with a guy who was from Ecuador. His dad was from Paraguay. We called him "Pecadorian".

I guess that's better than a " Ecuaguaian" :)
 
I've always called CM NOT FUNNY.



Back to the OP, I'm amazed they spelled chocolate correct, I can't even do that. [nb]without spell check[/nb]
 
LMAO at the chocolate ship cookies. Welcome to my life. Gabby was born in Mexico and came to the US when she was ~7. To this day her parents speak very little english. While Gabby's english is very good, it's not perfect. At least once a week I catch her FUBAR'ing a word or phrase. She's got a great sense of humor and we laugh about her "ESL" (English as a Second Language).

Her biggest FUBAR was a few years ago during a charity fundraiser spelling bee. A team from her office was assembled to compete against other teams/companies at our city's local convention center. It was a drinking event and when Gabby's team was challenged with the word "euthanasia".... all of the ladies about fell out of their chairs laughing when Gabby submitted her guess in writing to the team..... youthinasia.

Recently she confided in me that Microsoft Word's spellcheck feature was kicking her butt as she repeatedly tried to convert to past tense the word "seek" by changing it to "seeked", but "seeked" was not recognized by spellcheck. She jumped onto Google and figured out the correct word was "sought", but to this day still believes that "seeked" is appropriate.

Her and I are constantly having "word battles" and from where I sit the biggest confusion with the english language is our past tense words. Seek becomes Sought, Buy = Bought, do = did, etc., etc. In other languages the root word stays the same, but is usually qualified differently.
 
Gallagher had a comedy bit many years ago where he pointed out the absurdities of the English language. He had a big flip pad on an easel and had words written on the pages and he'd say the words as he flipped the pages. The only one I can remember is: laughter...daughter??? (pronounced like laughter).
