  • the hottest women on TV are...

    ...on the Spanish soap operas. Wish I had a dollar for every time they stopped me in my channel surfing tracks. IE, you should jump on this bandwagon to help you with your second language! You'll be Rosetta Stoned.

    Rosetta Stone Sucks!

    Classic example of how stupid Rosetta Stone is. Saw an ad that used French as an example. They had pictures of a boy and a girl -- under the girl is "fille" but under the boy is GARCON.

    Now, I've seen enough movies and read enough books where the customer in a fancy French restaurant wants something (more wine, bread, etc.) and he raises his hand and says, "GARCON!" -- and the waiter comes over.

    Clearly GARCON means waiter -- but this ad says it means boy -- so I call the 800 number and ask them how are we non-French speakers supposed to know which is which if they don't explain -- and they brag about "no memorizing" -- I told him, "It ain't gonna work if you don't REMEMBER what it is you learned so you damn well ARE memorizing!

    Booo on Rosetta Stone!

              /GarçonFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search Garçon is the French word for boy. In English, and various other languages, it was adopted in the specific meaning of a (male, usually young) waiter, especially of low rank in a larger establishment, who serves customers food and/or drinks. However, in France, it is considered rude to address a waiter as garçon. It is instead recommended to call them monsieur or mademoiselle, depending on their gender.[/URL]

                        I'm willing to bet that if you go to a French restaurant and call your server garcon you're going to have someone else's human saliva in your food.

                              pretty easy to understand. calling someone 'boy' is clearly demeaning. they call their waiters boy because they are the bitches bringing them their food. you must be retarded.
