No Habla Espanol

But now, starts seeing those and decide he may want to sue.

It would, IMHO, be a frivolous lawsuit.

It shows he's a truly assimilated American.

It really pisses me off when my students speak foreign languages in the hallway. Throw the book at this kid.

34 hours for someone to catch on.



ACK!

More retardation from Kansas.

I think all students should now speak ONLY Spanish at all times until the so-called 'legimate authority' changes it's stupid fascist policy.

More examples of typical American unquestioning worship of authority in this thread.

So-called 'legitimate authority', and the blind obedience of it is the worst problem in the world today. Nothing is more inherently dangerous to human freedom than a person who thinks they deserve your respect because of some job/uniform/symbol whatever. This 'teacher is just George Bush writ small.

BTW, Canadians, it's thanks to people like my dad that you no longer have to sing/hear 'God Save the Queen' in public schools, because he and many other spent every morning in detention for not rising (this was pre-Charter of Rights). **** authority.

Yes, in the halls. The school is responsible for that child and his actions from the minute he steps on campues to the minute the bus drops him off. Not just that kid, but all kids.

Jolly good show.

Let's hope the school comes down hard on the child, and prevents him from using any words that do not have an officially approved American Anglo-Saxon origin.

Like 'television'- half Greek, half Latin- a miscegenated word!!!!

'Law'- Old Norse

'Legal' - Latin

'Campus' - Latin

and of course:

'Kansas' from the French, from a Sioux word.


The sooner the better we can all go back to speaking this way:

Hwæt! Ic swefna cyst secgan wylle,
hwæt me gemætte to midre nihte,
syðþan reordberend reste wunedon!

It's well known that only English of Anglo-Saxon origin people created and inhabit the United States of America.

After all, the Spanish founded St. Augustine in Florida in 1565, well after those gringos landed on Roanoke in 1586, and long after Plimouth Plantation in 1620, which was of course itself founded long before Santa Fe in New Mexico (1607).

Hey Molly Bloom what a coincidence my Old English mid-term is tomorrow, mostly the venerable Bede and 'The Dream of the Rood'.

Njal's Saga too.

Please please please lets not go back to speaking Anglo-Saxon, 4 cases, no future tense whatsoever, no defined word order, gendered-everything....heck it combines the worst attributes of modern german and modern english.

[Japher]

we should only be allowed to speak like a PIRATE!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg

.

I really enjoyed 'The Dream of the Rood' and 'The Wanderer'.

Wasn't mad about Aelfric's 'Life of King Oswald', or King Alfred thinking that Old English worked better with a Latin grammar...


Best of luck conning your kennings.
