using the Character Maps on the computer!!
First off, me and my clan would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, sincerely.

Secondly, I want to share a Christmas and new year's greeting I received from a good friend-who shall remain anonimous- who loves the coutry and is trying to learn the language.

"Feliz Navidad y Uno Ano Nuevo Prospero para todos mis amigos."

So I have received a wealthy new sphincter??? I thought it was cute.....

The Importance of HB's Sphincter

HB: At your age perhaps your wealthy sphincter can afford an examination and an Rx for some Viagra. Merry Christmas and God Bless.

Re: The Importance of HB's Sphincter

Now that I think of it, perhaps it would have been contextually correct to omit the "r" out of "importance". Just picking on you HB. Couldn't resist.

The importance of foreign

character sets, punctuation, and spelling strikes again.

The almighty e?e

It now comes to my mind the uproar created by some computer manufactures in the EU when they suggested to get read of the "e?e". Most people laughed, all the Spanish purists were asking for some people's heads on plates. Can you imagine celebrating your "cumpleanos"? or shouting "cono!"? (not to forget that that word means something even more important in "Espana".

The "e?e" is vital for us. But it makes for some good laughs when non-Spanish speakers forget it.

A guy in my Spanish class said that he had 20 anos, but I guess its better to have one rich one than 20 regular ones. It gave me and the proffesor a pretty good laugh. No one else got it. Another thing I think is funny is how some dominicans interchange "L" and "R". A girl once wrote to me in a chat room: "tu me haces farta" Hehe! I thought it was funny. Oops, I'm letting my age show through. Hey, at least I know when I'm being immature.

"Merry Christmas Everyone!" -Justin

Justin: 50 anos all packed into one and refuse modern maturity. Guess you got that girl to relax her sphincter.
