  • Another source of confussion for english speaker is the gender in spanish :-) A friend canadian friend told me once: "El inglés es el idioma de los negocios, el francés es el idio del amor, y el español es el idioma de la pasión" (He speaks the three languages).

    By the way, I just installed your antispam plpugin in my experimental WordPress blog: http://www.encalrtado.com/topochopress/ and it looks like it is working great.
  • Not to mention the tendency to always translate literally! Imagine reading:

    Èl lanzò la piedra...


    and then translating it, "He lanced the rock..." rather than "He threw the rock..."
