| Why did it get deleted?
Why was the spanish thread deleted? I actually thought it was a great idea for all members who wanted to practice their spanish.

The TOS was violated: apparently all threads posted here must be entirely in English, for this is an American forum.

It is very ridiculous. It was fun, while at the same time educational.

Few schools actually have true freedom of speech; the teachers can criticize the decisions of the student body, but when a teacher screws up or is delinquent we are unable to do anything unless we protest in large numbers. At least freedom of the press is observed.

It was sporadic enough that the mods probably did not care, but a whole thread entirely in Spanish was a bit too illegal. Otherwise most of the International Forum would be having problems right now, particularly the Chinese Thread.

What if you translated every line? Would that be allowed then?

That is an interesting question, because it would fit the criteria while at the same time preserving the original language, so all could read it, in accordance with the TOS. I do not know the actual answer, however; finally, I doubt most would be willing to actually undertake something like that when posting.

I doubt it would be allowed because then the mods would have to verify that each line is translated correctly. And certain lines in different languages may have unknown connotations.
Ha, I was totally answering my own question when I asked it.

Not to mention dialects-in one place (Mexico) the Spanish word grilla is MJ; in another (Spain) it is a cricket. The word madre in Mexico is used in the manner "**** your mother", but in the rest of Spanish-speaking countries it just means mother.
