I usually have my International keyboard enabled but I'm not sure why I didn't at the time. It was past 4am and I think I was half asleep, but who knows. Funny story...When I first started learning, I didn't realize that leaving the ? off a work could completely change the meaning, sometimes for the worst. I asked a several girls "Cuantos anos tienes?" and each time one would reply "Jaja!!!! S?lo uno" It took a few times for me to catch on.
Anyway, I didn't know Spanish was frowned upon here, with the name being DR1. I thought the site was based in the Dominican Republic. And with one of the forum rules being stick to the topic of the Dominican Republic and the life there, an inexperienced user could only assume that this was a Spanish/English site.
I learn both formal and informal Spanish, since, no matter what their native language, many people of all nationalities do not speak in a formal manner.
