Remember everyone, Brazilians speak Portuguese, not Spanish. Its a common misconception.

Re: Mexican moss?
That's the Mexican LL!!!! Colombians would say "cah-jay," or therabouts... The sound I'm representing with J is really kind of a weird J/Z/Sh thing...darph nader wrote:I know what you mean Mayo. Lived here for 5 years before I found out that Calle is pronounced "ki'yay",not "cali". :(

I once had a dream where I was in Brazil, conversing with people in Spanish. I woke up, realized they speak Portuguese, fell asleep and went right back to the same dream, only I couldn't understand anyone anymore!!!Disneyguy85 wrote:And while we're at it...

I've had the same difficulties understanding people from England, and vice versa. Like George Bernard Shaw said, "England and America are two countries divided by a common language." :D:Mayonnaise wrote:That's the Mexican LL!!!! Colombians would say "cah-jay," or therabouts...

Actually, I've even found that other parts of the U.S. have trouble understanding Texan. That's why we talk so slowly, for you to understand us. :p:

The only thing I don't understand about Texans is how they can call grilled beef BARBEQUE. If it's BARBEQUE it's got to be PORK. :D:BRWombat wrote:I've had the same difficulties understanding people from England, and vice versa.

I'd like to put a Texan and a Kiwi in a room and see what happens. :D:BRWombat wrote:Actually, I've even found that other parts of the U.S. have trouble understanding Texan. That's why we talk so slowly, for you to understand us. :p:

Grilled beef? You're disqualified. Only slooooow-smoking is true barbecuing down here.GaTechGal wrote:The only thing I don't understand about Texans is how they can call grilled beef BARBEQUE. If it's BARBEQUE it's got to be PORK. :D:
But I love me some BBQ pork, too, so I can't totally disagree.

Re: Mexican moss?
Yeah, and here in Utah, if it touches a grill in any way it's considered barbecuing...it kinda pisses me off actually because it pretty much means that there is no BBQ.BRWombat wrote:Grilled beef? You're disqualified. Only slooooow-smoking is true barbecuing down here.
