Signs that you're a SpanishDict User

Question

We've all seen those lists that say, "you know you're a ________ when...." So I thought it'd be fun to come up with a list that shows the world that you're a SpanishDict user.

Todos hemos visto esas listas que dice, "Sabes que eres un/a _______ cuando...." Por eso pienso que sería divertido que idear una lista que muestre el mundo que eres un/a usuario de SpanishDict.

--Post your reasons in both Spanish and English, please!

--¡Publiquen sus razones en el español y en el inglés, por favor!

Okay, I'll start:

You know you're a SpanishDict user when you want to write your Facebook status once in English and once in Spanish.

Sabes que eres un usuario de SpanishDict cuando quieres escribir tu estado de Facebook una vez en inglés y una vez en español.

Nice idea!

You know you're a SpanishDict user when you check the SpanishDict forum before your Facebook.
