Hey boys: Sure I understand the need to talk in a common language, of course. An english is that common language today, like it or not. But even then if you post once in 20 times a post in spanish about trivia to share with other spanish speakers boys that fact does not violates the principle of common language. I can ensure you nobody in the spanish side has ever used our pretty, sharp, unimitable language to confound moderators or to blame nopbody. Just silly jokes that only can be expresed in spanish. That's the reason translations are not possible. Have you ever tried to translate a joke? By example this, originally created in spanish: A 20 years old boy say to his father that he is a gay and he expects understanding... -¿Gay? -Yes father, a gay -OK, let us see: do you have a golden Rolex? -No, father -Do you have a Ferrari? -Nope... -Do you have a 60 feets boat? -no - Then you are not a "gay" but a little bastard homosexual....!!! You cannot imagine how funny this joke is when you use the spanish words for those categories. I do not know if it works in english. I wait your opinions...
