apologize for his message--he was wrong--no big deal, but so should you. Let's work on getting facts straight as a group for fun and enjoyment--what
else are we doing here... Dennis help? |
No, I just choose to believe that Mexicans are more forgiving of foreigners making mistakes with THEIR language than you are. They wont be offended.
And I'd much rather be corrected by them, as part of a one-on-one conversation, than some anal gringo guy on a gringo message board.
I often have situations where a national is practicing English while I am practicing Spanish. We both enjoy it.
And when he makes mistakes in English, am I offended? Of course not!!!
