Say What?

Click on the strip for the translation…

I blinked when I first read this… pero como hablo español fluidamente, para mí no había ningún problema. By the way, there is no official language in the USA… you people are sooo xenophobic! ☺

Another glitch in the system again???

I’ve never learned Spanish, but its easy enough to understand if you’ve a decent grasp of English, isn’t it?

Just keep clicking until it comes up in English…sigh. There ought to be a law…

what????

click on the magnifying glass for English

Better still post it in english to start with.

Cool! It is like Sesame Street, where they teach you a little Spanish every day by using it in front of us and then explaining it! Finally foreign language made fun!

I like it, always a chance to expand your knowledge.

I should be part of that team. I did rapid response all night. Fred, come wake me at 4:00 okay?

why’s the comic in Spanish?

Interesting choice of words there, NYYORKIE: “Kowtow” (or “cow-tow” as you wrote). Comes from the Han Chinese culture, I believe. Goodness, even your vocabulary has been enriched by foreign influences.

Nice touch being in Espanol today. What does it say?

Hmmm…hit the wrong button did we?

Oh, I hope they get some teeth on those little monsters! And people get upset when they find out a dog attacked some neighborhood kid…,my first question is always, “Did the kid hurt the dog in some way?”

Jock, Yorky, Taffy, I need you urgently! My rapid response team!not too hard if you speak English, French, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese, any blend of those, or if you’ve studied Latin. Languages open the world – each language is its own universe with its own truth. Expand your language repertoire, expand your universe!

Say what? in English?!

I live near the border of Mexico and let me tell you English has become the second language in America. It is so bad tin my town, hat one school district wants to teach Mexican History replacing American History in High School for credit ? and in Spanish because the Mexican kids can only learn if they are taught in Spanish and learn about their culture. Heck it is everywhere here. So my comics in English please I may be the last one reading English but it is my first language. And yes my family speaks several languages.

HA! I guess there is an advantage to getting up late

to read the comics…They’ve fixed the bugs…spam

has been deleted, and, idiots have been flagged and

are gone.. America and merry old England..

Two countries separated by an ocean and a common

language.

¿Que?

Widely spoken? English is spoken in more places than any other language. I think you meant that more people speak Mandarin than English – but Mandarin is not more widely spoken, globally-speaking.

mine is in english

‘English’ is pretty much all ‘foreign influences’ if you go back far enough. Its one of its strengths.

@maestrabella67: Ok, English is de facto in the country, but there are 27 states that have English as Official.
