So my wife used to subscribe to Latina magazine. She canceled the subscription because most of the articles were written in splanglish. She is also hispanic, but her coconut parents refused to teach her spanish. I on the other hand speak Spanish fluently, having been raised by Mexican parents who refused to learn English. So when she told me about the articles I was shocked then disgusted. Why can't our people either speak 1 language at a time --English or Spanish -- either one, it doesn't matter, but not both. Not only does it make the person speaking spanglish sound ignorant in either language, but they make it hard for those that only speak one language to understand.

I speak some french,spanish and english.However i have a difficulty reading and writing in spanish.I have noticed that latina magazine has that spanglish thing going on.And for one thing there is nothing ignorant sounding about it,really only ignorance about it is the thought that it makes it hard for some people to read it,obviously if your f**king wife cant speak the language then obviously she should just stick to english only magazines,dont be bitching about how ignorant a style of writing is.But there is nothing stoping her from actualy learning the spanish language on her own time i mean she is an adult right?? Secondly the bilingual articles are very good for people who actualy are trying to learn spanish.thats how i learned from reading bilingual articles and books and poems actualy i leaned a couple new spanish words like novio and someother ones from reading latina magazine. so i dont know what you exactly are disgusted about. |
