I'm not sure that the Dominicans who read/post messages/comments with DR1 Forums really understand English/American subtlty or if, in the translation from English to Spanish in their minds loses the nuances intended.
It appears to me that many take offense at some of our comments issued in English prima facia and come back like Rambo.
Admittedly, some of the posts appear to be directed toward creating dissention while not being intentionally so, thereby being misinterpreted.
I'm not knowledgable enough of the Spanish language to know if it embraces subtlity or not, but it appears that there is no way to translate such from English to Spanish and give the meaning correctly. Is that clear or muddled???
It would behoove all English/American writers to carefully analyze posts before sending them, thusly making certain unintentional offence is not created.
