Gaby if we get technical... The fact that you live in Mex does not mean doodoo... =)
If you were to talk to someone from Spain you would not understand 1/2 of what they say... so... What makes sense to you may not make sense in countries outside of Mex and sometimes in cities.. outside of where you live..
I say that out of experience.. I live in Miami which has ppl from all over south america and I know that is very dificult to say one word that EVERYONE will understand.. you don't have that problem cuz where you live .. i would guess are mostly mexicans who have spoken like yourself all their lives...
BUT..you were right on what you wrote.. at least to me that sounds better..
Dax, spanish is not that different from one country to other in the same way English is almost the same in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and England. Just avoid the slang, and you'll make yourself clear all the time.
If you don't understand the spanish from a South American country there's a reason for it, they're using slang and you won't find it in any Diccionario de la Real Academia.
I know my doodoo and I know when one spanish translation is sucky. It doesn't matter where I live. It comes from speaking spanish as my first language.

That's sooooo false. We understand perfectly as long as they don't use any slang. We get to watch Spanish movies and they don't need any translation or subtitles. Same with their music, the only thing different is the accent

I agree spanish should be the same regardless of where you live. Now here in the US we speak spainglish

The reason why i say that.... is because I just spent a week with two guys from spain and i could not understand everything they said.. they have to use other words to explain.. ;)

Las películas españolas deberían ser traducidas, cuando las veo sólo escucho shhhhhhhhhhhh (pueshh oshtia tu shabeshhh), muy difícil de entender. Y cuando estuve trabajando en México, me llevó casi un mes entender el acento y la mayoría de las palabras. Y mi acento era relativamente entendido, pero las palabras no. De hecho, la Real Academia ya reconoce al argentino como un idioma diferente y el mismo proceso va a ser para el mexicano.
Vos sabés de que te parlo, nocierto?

If you´re from Argentina, i´m ashamed that someone
from my country carries such an ugly signature on this board.
I worked with some Mexican and Cuban women and they could communicate on one level but there was alot of pauses and you could almost see them reaching out for words that the other would understand. Then they snickered at each other when the other walked away and both groups would say: "They don't know how to speak Spanish!"
I'd have to think that pure Castilian Spanish would have alot of differences from the Western Hemisphere styles just due to the Indians involvement.

Btw, I'm talking on ICQ with a friend from Argentina. She says Material and Contenido are both correct. That tells me you need to improve your vocabulary a little bit...
Originally posted by gaby oh, people that know what "Material" is.. don't have internet access? I assumed you were smarter, but you just proved me wrong.
You stated that translating the word "content" to
"contenido" was misleading, and it´s NOT.
When you surf around spanish sites or even when an
spanish internet portal ad comes up on TV, they say
"contenido" when they refeer to their content.
And WTF? Where did i said that "contenido" and "material"
weren´t the same thing? of course they are!
