Thanks Rich One. I have to print that out and put it into my grammar book. And it gives me an opening to ask a question that's been on my mind. In the streets I often hear what sounds to me like "pollo". But I am quite certain that people don't talk about chicken as often as I hear "pollo"...

I am about as far from an expert on Spanish as one can get, but two of these are not so bad (as I have learned from the excellent "A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish" by Butt and Benjamin). Foto is feminine because it is short for fotografia. Problema is certainly a bit strange but not...

You might look into USAA. It's primarily an insurance company. And for insurance you need a US military connection. But they are also a large bank and you may be able to bank there even without a US military connection. The thing is, since historically they served members of the US military...

I am an experienced ESL teacher and would be glad to do it so long the location is not out in the sticks. Do you have any kind of lesson plan for the class? Bob

I don't see that criticizing economic policy is bashing the culture. I don't know if the Ks deserve bashing or not. Are you saying that the Ks were not responsible for the cited policies or that the cited policies have worked well? Bob

My SUBE card will not be used for approximately 10 months. Does anyone know if, like some US gift cards, the balance will expire, i.e. go down to zero, after a while? Thanks, Bob

I saw the other day that Hugh Laurie will be performing with his band at the Gran Rex on March 15th. Will I be able to purchase a ticket at the theater with no Spanish skills? And will they have a seating chart I can look at? (I don't want to buy a ticket online because I don't want to cough...

Maybe some do it for an iPhone, some do it to feed their family, and some are forced into it. Maybe life is not black and white.

I am a very experienced, although not academically trained, ESL teacher. My Spanish skill are so-so but almost all of my students have been Spanish and that has not been a problem. I am here only until mid-March, but if before then I could be used in some ESL capacity I would be most...

Yes! A very good question. In fact I think that a much stronger case can be made for outlawing boxing than for outlawing prostitution. The whole point of boxing is to damage the opponent so badly that he falls down and can't get up for at least 10 seconds. Bob

It seems to me that if you work your body and/or mind is being taken advantage of. I don't know what it means to take advantage of someone's humanity. Isn't humanity often just offered. Is it humanity if you are paid for it? But also I'd say that doctors and nurses and other hands on...

What's your source for this information? How many prostitutes were interviewed? Where? By whom? Was the study published in a peer reviewed academic journal? Have other studies verified the results? I don't doubt that there are prostitutes who lead the life you describe. But how many...

It's easy to find Argentina's national holidays on the web. But there are additional holidays in BsAs. Right? But where do you find a list of them? Thanks, Bob

I am trying to figure out an inexpensive way to have internet access here on my cell phone. I am using Personal. My research here indicates that all I have to do is Activalo ahora, enviá ACT INTERNET30 al 152 But I am not certain what that means. Does it mean to dial *152 ACT INTERNET30#...

It's curious. People, sufficiently good looking, sell their appearance and that's OK. People sell their labor and that's OK. People sell their talents and mental abilities and that is OK. People sell their integrity and that's OK - not, in general, illegal, anyway. People give away use of...

Thanks for replying ejcot. The first reference you gave says that the SIM is "non-removable". So when I get to BsAs how will I be able to get the phone working on the Personal network there? Thanks, Bob

My research on this phone has left me confused as to whether the SIM chip can be changed and whether the phone can be unlocked. Does anyone know if it can be used on the Personal network in BsAs? Thanks, Bob

Thank you very much DerAchtundzwanzig! I got that to work under Chrome. It doesn't work with IE but that's probably because of my security settings. Bob

Can anyone tell me how to make this site work? Or suggest an alternative? I'm looking to enter an address and have the web site show me the area where the address is located. I think that in the past I've been able to get that function from this site but no longer. Of course my Spanish is...
