Highly fractured thread. Not complaining about that. When we look back into history, Spain was before the English and these were musket days of armor and swords. Saints no question. Envelopes of time and frankly there was an acceptable language which permutated into the different tribes by the way the language worked. Centuries past we still struggle or are supposed to struggle with Spanish. These Are "romance" dating so far beyond and carried to the far corners of the world.
Recently (within the last 50 years or so) they mock the Spaniard influence but there wouldn't have been a standard language if not for the work from Spain All these monuments, all these names are serious Brothers, Priests and Apostles to remind us that it was worthy.
Nothing I've written, despite my best efforts, is close to funny. Nothing SteveHGraham has written is close to funny. But that joke that atunguyd wrote IS close to funny. Therefore, I hereby declare it off topic.
