Funny discussion at the book fair

[poli]

I read this funny article in a Spanish newspaper today that covers subject matter that anybody navigating the Spanish-speaking community is aware
of. Some of this has been covered here in the forums. I'm sure many of us
know amusing stories about certain misunderstandings among Spanish speakers from different countries. Well, anyway this subject matter was
recently dicussed at the prestigious Guadalajara book fair.

Yes, Poli, your article was very fun and important because, here in the forums there are Mexicans as Spain, then there are different way to speak on worldwide and it does mean the same, it has distinct meaning in the dictionary, in your dictionary and my dictionary my way to speak is not the same way to speak to your way to speak, if you say Cojer el coche, for me, that word is something nasty, jejeje, here on Mexico, I can't to say that, because, the people will think bad above of the word, I said before, then it's true and very accurate that when we speak anything in the forums or in the street, we must respect the way to speak of the other people, but it's does not leave to be fun for much persons in other countries, anyhow you and me, we are both know that the way to speak is distinct and correct way, but anyway we understanding among themselves.

Yes, The United States has created much idioms and way to speak, the American people speaks with a lot idioms, instead of England, that country speak the English of other way very distinct then, when a person is learning English sometimes it's very hard for the kinds of idioms spook in U.S.A, that is my case, I have tried much to speak also write the English correctly but in some occasions the words change to other way of write them.
