Answer 1

Might just need to focus on spelling of the English language.

Tal vez incluso concentra en el deletreo del idioma de inglés.

jeje What a novel idea. - rac1, Oct 27, 2014

Answer 2

She has enough time on her hands to protest but not enough to learn to read and write the language that she is protesting for.

Ella tiene suficient tiempo disponible para protestar pero insuficient para aprender como leer y escribir la lengua sobre está protestando.

:) - 00ffada9, Oct 26, 2014

It makes me wonder why she is bothering to protest at all. - rac1, Oct 26, 2014

True enough Gringo - pacofinkler, Oct 26, 2014

Notice how she has double lined the misspelled word? Isn't that sad :( - 00ffada9, Oct 26, 2014

"offical" jejej - rac1, Oct 26, 2014

Maybe she was going for fecal or offal or a combination of the two. - gringojrf, Oct 26, 2014

Lol - rac1, Oct 26, 2014

"Ofecal" ?????? - pacofinkler, Oct 27, 2014

Answer 3

I reserve the right to remain isolated and ignorant of the rest of the world.

Me reservo el derecho de permanecer aislado y ignorante del resto del mundo.

Answer 4

Sí, hacer inglés oficial, sólo entonces lo aprenderemos.

Yes, make English official, only then we will learn it.

Answer 5

Cualquier persona que hizo ese letrero sin duda sabe escribir "bueno" el idioma de su nación. (Por favor nota que "bueno" es un error intencional, y uno que oigo a diario de gente- por lo menos en inglés.)

Whoever made that sign without a doubt knows how to write their national language "good". (Please note that "good" is an intentional error- and one I hear on a daily basis from people- at least in English.)

They did it real good. jejejeje - rac1, Oct 26, 2014

Answer 6

Pobre lengua inglesa soporta mucho, porque todo el mundo la retuerce.

Poor English language supports very much, because everybody twists it.

Answer 7

Obviamente la vieja no quiere un idioma oficial, sino un idioma depravado.

Obviously the decrepit woman doesn´t want an official language, but a bastardized language.

Hi Julian. I don't think decrepit works here. despicable maybe? - gringojrf, Oct 26, 2014

Maybe, but I don´t know if there is a good translation. "Despicable" seems too strong, no? - 005faa61, Oct 26, 2014

Maybe just stupid or foolish? But decrepit is more like feeble. Really old people are decrepit. Although some days I feel like I am fast approaching it. - gringojrf, Oct 26, 2014

Remember in Mexico "la vieja" doesn´t always mean "the old woman". It´s a mild way of showing lack of respect in this case - 005faa61, Oct 26, 2014

Agreed. But the English decripit doesn't express the same idea as vieja does in Spanish. - gringojrf, Oct 27, 2014

sorry spelling error (lol) decrepit. - gringojrf, Oct 27, 2014

I agree, and I still don´t know the English equivilant - 005faa61, Oct 27, 2014

You could use "wretched" or "reprehensible" or maybe "contemptible". - rac1, Oct 27, 2014

Thanks rac1 I was unable to think of any of those words, even though I know them all. I would go with wretched. - gringojrf, Oct 27, 2014

Answer 8

Ella necesita regresar a la escuela secundaria.

She needs to return to high school.

Or grade school..lol - rac1, Oct 27, 2014

Answer 9

Recomiendo encarecidamente que el lenguaje no se convierta en una cuestión política.

I strongly recommend not to turn language into a political issue.

It is the US. You are either politically correct or you are not. I'm not so I live in Mexico. - gringojrf, Oct 27, 2014

Halleluja Gringo!!!!!!!!!!!! - pacofinkler, Oct 27, 2014

Hey....now, now...I'm a U.S. citizen and I'm proud of it...:) - rac1, Oct 27, 2014

Well, from a Spanish or Belgian point of view... Or in Québec, or Finland... A language strife may be a laughing matter, but only for outsiders.;-) - Castor77, Oct 27, 2014

Answer 10

This person may also be one who screams at the U.S. government: "Keep your hands off my Medicare!" (a government program that underwrites health care for citizens sixty-five and older)

Esta persona también puede ser uno que grita en el gobierno de Estados Unidos: "¡Guarde sus manos de mi Medicare!" (un programa de gobierno que suscribe la atención de salud para los ciudadanos de sesenta y cinco años y mayores)

Yes, at precisely the same time they are saying no socialized medicine. - bosquederoble, Oct 27, 2014

Bosque: exactly. - AnnRon, Oct 27, 2014

But remember, these older people have paid into the system all their lives for that reason. - rac1, Oct 27, 2014

Good thing to remember, rac. They shouldn't be deprived of something they've been promised and that they've paid into. Still, we've all seen the small-government types want to demolish every program but the one that benefits them. Nothing against old - AnnRon, Oct 27, 2014

people (I'm no spring chicken), just selfish people. - AnnRon, Oct 27, 2014

Answer 11

Those dog gone aliens takin our jobs. (Duh)

Los extranjeros están tomando nuestros puestos de trabajo.

"Doggone". It's actually one word :) P.S. -- Love the emoticon! - 00ffada9, Oct 26, 2014

Thanks...I know....I did that on purpose. lol - rac1, Oct 26, 2014

Answer 12

Es más bien que ella a electo una pancarta sino un tatuaje...

It's just as well she chose a placard rather than a tattoo...

Answer 13

Creo que veo al fondo "Texas". Es el estado lo más al norte de México que se goberna por gringos. ¿No?

I think I see "Texas" in the background. It's the northernmost of the Mexican states governed by white people. Isn't it?

Je, je. Yes, it is. Rich oil barons. - AnnRon, Oct 27, 2014

I know you must be kidding, amigo. - rac1, Oct 27, 2014
