You're actually in my .sig collection as well, on that very subject:
Another of my pet peeves is the use of random special characters in names,
e.g. SQL*Forms. I pronounce that one "squeal splat forms" - sort of sounds
like roadkill, doesn't it?

I could have actually found that out--we had a Cuban kid (as in actually was born in Cuba and left when he was 14) who I could have tried out on her. But at the time I didn't know that there were different flavors of Spanish.

And English Quebecois friends who are nevertheless fluent in Quebec French report being treated with scorn when in Paris. I have a fellow-blacksmith friend in Pliezhausen whose wife is Schweizdeutsh. She has to make a special effort, even after decades in Germany, to speak Hochdeutsch. As for my own German, I'm so hard of hearing that I have trouble with my native English so my German excursions are limited to loud one-liners of reading. -- Mike Spencer Nova Scotia, Canada

Both are urban legends, like the "Eskimo words for snow" trope.

None of my high school Spanish teachers were from Mexico. I had my first class in Texas. IIRC, my teachers were from Columbia, Nicaragua, and Cuba. My junior college teacher in Spanish, as far I could tell, didn't grow up speaking Spanish, but she was very good at it. -- Jim

That was, I suppose many decades ago now. My nieces both went to spanish immersion school for the six years of grade school in california. It's been immeasurably useful for both as adults. My niece's car had been stolen when she was in Oakland on business a few years back - when it was recovered she and her mom (nordic blonde types) went to the auto shop where the recovered vehicle was stored to pick it up and the employees started making lewd comments in spanish, which my niece quickly shut down in literate spanish and they became quite cooperative.

Circa 1957, my high school German teacher took a leave of absence due to her husband's illness and subsequent death. The substitute was Mrs. Gagliarducci, fluent in Italian, ignorant of even the basic pronounciation rules of German, not a word of vocabulary, but officially designated as a "language teacher", thus qualified to fill the slot. -- Mike Spencer Nova Scotia, Canada

Damn lucky she was not officially designated as an espresso machine! -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248
