LOL! Fernando, I have no opinion on this subject, but I must comment in another area. You posted recently that you appreciate how some posters here write in English. I have to say the same for you, I find your colorful use of English to be very entertaining. :) I mean this in the best way. Your English, although perhaps not grammatically perfect, is easy to understand, and has a unique flavor to it. I speak a number of languages, and I understand that expressions in one language may not have an exact equal translation that captures the same humor or essence of thought in another. It's something that makes languages interesting, and sometimes in trying to convey a thought you may come up with a way of saying something that would not occur to a native speaker. The colorful visual of your last sentence above is a good example. It's nice to see English with a little different spice to it. :)
