You can tell real people created them, as they have much more humanity embedded in them - their layout, language, colors - than anything I've ever seen up here.<br /><br />Or maybe Canadians are just too reserved. Either way, I can always count on you to share something great with us.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7409638537588660740.post-1129000455418516652009-05-23T04:18:11.172-04:002009-05-23T04:18:11.172-04:00I'll have 1 Coco Loco por favor... :)

What a mistake that was! My teacher would pick on me to speak in front of the class then pick it apart on all that was wrong. Soon I wouldn't say anything as I knew it would be wrong and everyone would make fun of me. To this day I can't utter a word and I used to be fluent as a child.<br /><br />Loved the signs!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840809036588436520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7409638537588660740.post-58453803420345590282009-05-22T15:12:36.952-04:002009-05-22T15:12:36.952-04:00Lovely!!

"Chinaloa", that is a funny one!<br /><br />I agree, language is living, there is language that is "proper" for instructional purposes, but we all love to have fun with language. And they are bound to mix and blend, especially here in SoCal where we live.<br /><br />That's what I love about the "Skippyjon Jones" books for kids. Lots of fun mixing and blending Spanish and English words. Makes the kids laugh, and the adults get a kick out of it, too!MamaCta!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10500392511466062266noreply@blogger.com
