"Honey, thanks again for the money. What are you doing today? Are you thinking about me like I am about you? When you come to my country, if you want we can go to the beach. Do you like the beach? Would you like to visit museums with me?Quote:

It's not slang so much as bad grammar and spelling...
thank you very much
i have some questions about the process can you help me
Hi sheldon, which process?
This is not Spanish slang. This is bad and poorly written Spanish, lots of grammar, spelling and typing mistakes.Quote:

Walter, I understand your concerns but we have addressed this issue several times in the past. If you don't want to help someone that is your privilege; however, there are those here who like to do these minor translations out of kindness or in order to practice.Quote:

Of course it is not slang but how is a person who does not speak Spanish going to know that and if the poster knew Spanish he/she wouldn't need a translator.
True, the person who wrote the note doesn't write very well but, again, we get a lot of poorly written English and Spanish but that's not the issue. The poster asked us to translate it and Scott did. Good for him. He did somebody a favor and got nothing in return but the satisfaction of helping someone.
Walter, why not just ignore these posts if they bother you?
I will. You are right. Wise words.Quote:

As a moderator on the site, I would like to commend and thank you both for your civility in resolving the matter.
i think that you are right. i really appriacate Scott helping me with the short message. It has a lot of spelling mistakes and is hard to translate. I will repay him if he ever needs a favour this is how you become friends with some one. Than you Vicente and Scott
I understand what you mean but if it has a lot of spelling mistakes is this the right forum for this dicussion because walterzev seems very angry at me and i dont know why.
Sheldon, I'm sure nobody is angry with you.Quote:

Just a suggestion: If you are going to have a romance with a girl who only speaks Spanish maybe you should start learning Spanish. The "language of love" is great but you might want to talk to her about other things eventually. :D Good luck!
thank you very much i am learning as we speak but her spelling is so bad. I posted a new thread do you think you can help me
Sheldon, I totally agree with vicente... you should take a Spanish course if you intend to go on with this relationship. (You should also advice her to take one jeje... because as Walter says her spelling is terrrible)
BTW, Walter and vicente... my respects to such civilized gentlemen...
