Hello, my name is Please.
And no, I did not.
who came at the window? O_O
I came at the window,
What now ?
Wipe it up and pull up your pants.
And don’t ask about our special sauce.
I don’t know if you know this, but jizz leaves streaks if you don’t it up right away.
Use an action verb!
I accidentally my whole action verb.
Would “lick” be appropriate here? xP
I accidentally the window! What should I do?
Want some frenchflies with that?
epic lulz for shure!
wow! I didn’t know a stereotypical Spanish accent was so close to a stereotypical Asian accent! Thanks for the edjumacatioN!
*does the french laugh*
OK, the person who speaks is DON’T and Mr.Please Work came at the Window?
Mexicans…
Ok, your turn.
Try saying “Sorry. The speaker does not work. Please come to the window” in Spanish.
Yeah, I would if I were in a Spanish-speaking country. But I’m not!
If that’s in the US… then I’m sorry to say this… but the majority of the population there speaks spanish
Pardon?
While I don’t disagree with you, all of our street signs are in english, all of our government meetings are held in english, and all of our schools teach in english (unless it’s a foreign language class like spanish, french, etc.). The majority of the population can speak all the spanish they want, but the primary language in the United States is english.
Interesting.
According to the worldfactbook & corroborated by the census bureau, the majority (82%) of Americans speak English, while only 10.7% of Americans speak Spanish.
.
Looks like America is still 80% WASP, too. Huh, I thought we were supposed to be more diversified by now.
.
Not making a joke. Just making an observation
Believe it or not, English isn’t legally the official language, even though the majority speaks it.
.
In other words, it’s demographic makes it a more spoken language in the US, but the U.S. Government hasn’t written a paper specifically stating English is the official language. And some places (like Airports, theme parks and hotels) have Spanish variations on signs/menus. Not to mention it’s widely encouraged as a second language.
English is the official language of some states.
That said, it’s funny that states with higher literacy rates like Washington, Vermont, Oregon, and Minnesota don’t have English Only laws. I’m an immigrant (from Japan) and it can be a little daunting to basically have the state shove you aside. Oh, wait, I live in Washington, where even in the ghetto-arse part of town I live in, Taco Bell has signs in perfect English and I get my cheapo bad-for-me fake burrito with a smile. And admittedly I speak pretty gosh darn good English, too, but that’s because we had bilingual education in school.
I like it this way, thanks.
WASP?
Where’s the EYE-talian in that?
*left out* sniffle….
“Lo ciento, el altavoz que no funciona. Venga la ventana por favor.”
It’s “lo siento,” for the record. :]
-a WASP bitch
Racists…
Racism has nothing to do with this because the topic of discussion is language and “Race” is not defined by language.
Definition WIN
Nice WIN
And the sad thing is, the person who made the sign is probably a native English speaker, a product of our fine public school system.
That’s the sad truth. *sigh*
“Is our children learning?” (Bush-ism)
I’m glad to see that no child has been left behind.
I think by “No Child Left Behind” they meant,
“EVERYONE stay back with Slow Timmy.”
Meanwhile, nobody gets ahead.
That’s pretty much how I see it. I think the government is trying to Bush-ify the school children.
Ohhh I get it! The guest speaker is on drugs, and the police came at the window? *was that before or after the broomrape with the potato?*
How Sleasey
The sad thing is I work at Taco Bell…and our speaker went out a couple days ago…
*buries face in shame*
*throws shoe*
Ow…my pride.
I wish this was a non-English speaker…
…but we all know it’s just a retarded American
I know exactly how this guy feels. Please came at my window too. That dirty F%*#er!
I CAME! … To pick up my taco.
I would not be surprised at all to find this sign at Taco Bell in my hometown. Dumbasses.
the Speaker resigned?
The sneaker designed?
The drinker reclined?
I am particularly fond of the wonderfully professional tape job that adheres said informational missive to the drive-thru menu board.
Yeah, I second the opinion that this was a native english speaker, not one of hispanic origin. The syntax is all wrong for a spanglish sign.
“La altavoz no sirve. Favor de ordenar a la ventana”. Or possibly “en la ventana”, I can’t decide which sounds more correct to me.
Not bad for a gringa?
“El altavoz no trabaja, viene por favor a la ventana.”
Tal vez, pero no se si es correcto.
You mean “EL altavoz no funciona. Por favor, pase a la ventanilla”? Nice try, though. Your Spanish goes further than “señorita”, “taco” or “guacamole”.
Gwhackamole is about as far as I get when it comes to Spanish. I would have taken Spanish in high school, had it not been taught by a freakish man/woman who liked to talk about her sexcapdes.
Spaniard here… The right way to say this is:
“Lo sentimos. El altavoz no funciona. Por favor acuda a la ventana”
As you see, we don’t use the verb “to be” in this phrase, so I think this wasn’t written by a spanish-speaker.
I agree. The percentage of functionally illiterate adults in this nation is appalling.
Don’t even get started on the percentage of functionally literate people holding the highest political office in the free world. Thank Darwin that’s about to change..
eh.. “currently holding,” that should have read..
You’re sure the Chihuahua isn’t just around the corner with a really big box, going “Here, gringo, gringo, gringo?”
More lilke Spanglish.
I Can Has Taco?
Nein. Du kannst kein Taco haben.
…oh, we’re moving on to German now?
I prefer my taco without Sauerkraut, thanks. EW.
This looks like a sign you would see at a fast food joint in America…
The writer isn’t particularly work, either, I think.
this is what happens when you drop out of high school and work at taco bell, kids!
