Words, Words, Words - it's only words (Jul/21/2009 )
senilla
adjunction or what....as if I would need it...
semilla
oh yeah, I forgot...your temporary amnesia is actually permanent....you probably already forgot Spidey's name.....
Sevilla
but you had the audacity to name it, I just called it "Spinne" (especially as I don't know the gender)...
and what was your name...? let me recall it...
Moors
ok.....I like that name Spinne...I guess an all-purpose name you can use for a lot of your bugs so you might as well use that for me too so you won't forget.......
meadows
@cas: I despised Spanish class, so I have tried to unremember everything I learned. Usted is one of the few words that has doggedly remained. Sorry.
Michael Moore
but Spinne is german for spider....that would I never use for you....
Fahrenheit
but you've called me worse things so it doesn't really matter....at least you'd remember it....
@LaRa: I despised mine too...of all the words you can remember, that's the one that got stuck with you....
ok, a copy and paste from Dummies .com:
Spanish speakers use tú (too) and usted (oos-tehd), which both mean “you,” to convey the formality of a relationship. Tú is less formal than usted.
You use tú when you’re talking to someone of the same age, the same rank, or the same educational level. You can also use it when you want to express a certain level of intimacy with someone. Most adults address children using tú.
Usted signifies a more respectful way of talking to someone, such as a new acquaintance, an older person, or someone you consider to be of higher rank.
so which am I to you? on second thoughts, considering that I delude myself to thinking that I have royal blood....I guess you have to use usted, instead.......where's tj when you need him....

you're now a Spanish teacher?
AF 555
nope, I'm just a spider.......if copy-pasting makes me a teacher, then I am the greatest teacher that ever lived...
....isn't it the same in german, dr H-the use of the formal and informal YOU...in french it is....in Japanese even more so....
IRD 700
yes we have a formal "sie" and a colloquial "du"....and a very formal "ihr".. and it's difficult to decide what to use as there are no strict rules...here we use a joke (just to show how bad ones english is): "You can say you to me"...
spider can have beautiful names such as Meta, Arvicularia, Argiope, Dolomedes, Pardosa, Pirata and many more
