JF:Having grown up in S. Florida, I have had much exposure to Hispanic culture. I have taken more years of school Spanish than I care to mention. I can even converse fairly easily and effectively in my areas of business where I have a fairly extensive vocabulary. Those skills erode somewhat when I am dealing with other areas of vocabulary or with the Spanish spoken by some people....especially as folks are given to speak extremely fast or by cutting off their words without full pronounciation. Anyway, in my experience with Spanish I most often hear Spanish speakers refer to themselves as Latino or Latinos rather than Hispano or Hispanos.....so I usually use Latin as the English equivalent of that rather than Hispanic. Am I right about this? I am very much interested in words and how people perceive them.....so I am glad you made the point. I appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks!
Hi HarryThe word Latino is widely misused by some folks in this country as well as the Spanish speaking media. Although it's true that Spanish is a Latin based language, English shares many Latin roots words with Spanish.English and other European language use the Latin alphabet, does that make them Latinos? Another poster implied that we are Latinos because of the term Latin America. Do the English,French and Portuguese speaking coutries in Latin America consider themselves Latinos? Ok that's enough, now it's time to talk about tropical fruit growing JFMangoDogAnywhere where there is a buck to be may you will see Don King's mug and Fro
