Hey, whatever lets me know what those little brown imps are saying when they think I don't know what they're saying. Do you think I like having to learn a whole gutter dialect merely because it presents a possible survival advantage? I do not, but needs must as the devil drives, especially these days. you can learn real Spanish, and you'll be able to understand them anyways... this way you won't be learning a gutter dialect, you'll be learning a beautiful European language, you'll be able to actually enjoy the learning process, which will lead to you learning faster and better, and you get to know what the brown horde is saying as an added bonus. win-win-win scenario. ;)
