The way "government" is widely pronounced...and probably the way it should be spelled to more closely resemble what it actually does. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiko Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 This quote speaks volumes about the culture of Mexico. Benito Juárez: "Entre los individuos, como entre las naciones, el respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz", ...meaning "Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace".

dichosalocura Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I only took offence because some people use the term gummint to disparage the way Southern Americans may think or speak. But yeah I guess I should just lighten up a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shag Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 yes, it is like when we moved from California to a small town in Texas when i was a child. My father had a stove vent a hood installed in his restaurant. My dad asked the guy that installed it what it was made of and the guy said "well, it looks like lunyan but its really chrone" "lunyan" = Aluminum chrone=chrome......anyway we loved Texas and the people.
