Stupid comments family and friends make about your SO.

Wow that's a first, I mean, Spain and Spanish go really well hand in hand, the problem is people knowing that in the entire South America we are the only country that doesn't speak Spanish so for most Brazilians speak Spanish ... or Brazilian.

I know this isn't the mean reason for this thread but there are other countries in South American where Spanish isn't the primary language spoken- Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana.

The Spainish of Central America is not the same Spainish in Spain. The dialect is different. Just like US English and UK English.

Yeah, but it still isn't Portuguese. Or French. Which is what I think alienlovechild wanted to point out .

MENA had a whole thread about this.

The other day we were talking about how dangerous it can be to meet people offline in real life. This girl was like: "and these stupid girls going to meet men they met online!?"

(i like this girl) I just started agreeing with her and emphasizing how idiotic "those women" must be to meet men online and what stupid whores they must be(all the time winking at her).. she finally got it and felt retarded and said "well not you,lis"

sometimes people dont mean to be stupid a holes, they just are

Well, I meant of the main ones, since the same people who think we speak Spanish in Brazil also have no idea the Guianas and Suriname are there at all.

Thai people are not Taiwanese. That's a different country altogether. I correct people constantly on this.

I remember back when he came to visit and meet my family in 2003, my mother pulled me aside and said that he'd "...knock you up and leave, because that's what men do and what are you going to do when he does that? You aren't aborting my grandchild, but there is no way I am going to help you either."

It wasn't insulting to my husband specifically, but a coworker asked if the language of Spain was Portuguese.

And about 1,000 people asked why I didn't just find someone here, but that's kinda normal...if I didn't love him so much I'd ask myself that, too.

Never in my life I heard someone think that they speak Portuguese in Spain.

And about us foreigns wanting the GC, well, my education formation and living conditions back home were better than here, but he didn't want to be supported by me until he could start a career there.

Many people won't believe you can have a good life somewhere other than the States, so I can't count how many times my fiance was "warned" that I only wanted the green card. One of his friends actually had the nerve to tell him, in the beginning of our relationship, that being from a third world country, I was possibly a trannie. Yeah, a freaking transvestite. You just ignore it and live your life. In the trannie case, a F#CK OFF came in handy.

Tranny ? ####### ?

They have a different sounding accent and different colloquialisms than we do.

Yeah, before I moved to Brazil everyone would ask me all the time, Do you speak Spanish!? And I'd reply, "no, and I don't speak Portuguese either"

but now I do

And people will really be shocked to know that there are several Portuguese-speaking countries.

[Ladylethal 12]

When they do know that we speak Portuguese in Brazil they assume it's just us and Portugal.
