I’m beginning to think my friends made it up. Please help, this word is plaguing me.

Do you agree that Mexico extends into the US because of all the Mexican people here?

Friday, November 13th, 2009

President Felipe Calderon, today blasted our deportations and said "Mexico does not end at its borders." And speaking to Mexicans in the US many of them here illegally he told them "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico."
That sounds pretty imperialistic to me. What would happen if we sent millions of Americans to [...]

I know this is weird…but I have a hard time understanding Mexican American’s when they speak Spanish?

Spanish is my second language, but I’m pretty much fluent since I used to live in Chile…the thing is, I understand Spanish when Mexicans from Mexico speak it, but for some reason it’s difficult for me to understand Mexican American’s when they speak Spanish.
This is stupid, but I’m serious…I’m wondering why this might be.

What purpose does Chavez have in training people from the Middle East to look, act and speak like Mexicans?

Monday, October 19th, 2009

If our nation becomes unsettled because of inner turmoil, will this makes us vulnerable to countries who would like to invade or destroy us? Is that why illegals are pouring in like water over Niagra? Is that why 30 % of illegals are other than Mexican? Is this about letting Mexico be [...]

Can you please clarify my confusion as to when Spanish Mexico became Mexican Mexico?

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Hi,
This boils down to 5 key questions for me:
1] When and how did conquering Spaniards in indigenously-populated Mexico become "Mexicans?"
2] When did Spanish control of New Spain/Mexico cede to and come under Mexican control?
3] Was this (#2 above) when Mexico became a formal Mexican nation—and no longer a colony of Spain?
4] [...]

What is the most common word for "computer" in Latin American Spanish? "Computadora" or "Ordenador"?

Friday, September 18th, 2009

I’m copyediting the Closed Captioning of a math video, to wit, the Spanish-translated text for a math video.
The translator wrote "computador" (without the "a" at the end), but the dictionary shows "ordenador"–which is used mainly in Spain, I think.
However, the video makers are catering to the Spanish-speaking students of the US and Caribbean. They [...]

Why do Mexican Americans refer to Mexicans as “Spanish”? Has “Mexican” become a bad word?

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Here in California I have noticed that most Mexican Americans refer to other Mexicans as "Spanish". Why? Just speaking Spanish doesn’t make one Spanish. Being from Spain makes one Spanish. I speak English, but I’m not from England so I’m not English. I almost get the feeling that Mexicans here in California regard the word [...]
