AD had it right, it's all about the money. Everything else springs from that. That being said, I have no clue what's up with people on this board bashing spanish speakers non-stop.

Gracias.

 

There's a distinct difference between poking fun, and bashing, and sometimes it's come right down to bashing. Didnt like the joke, but I'd heard it before and I'll hear it again. But I'm not about to start a crusade against it.

Good one, smart guy :blink:

 

You know what I meant. English is the common language used in basically all international science conferences and for publishing in all the most influential science journals.

Yeah I know, but the comment was asking for it. I work in a Nat'l lab, Trust me I know that everyone here, regardless of where they are from, publishes in English.

Who speak English at the International bargaining table. You think when Toyota negotiated the agreement with San Antonio to build their new Tundra plant they were tossing around the term "gaijin"?
