And....if Uruguayan forum members started making fun of our understandably poor Uruguayan/Spanish language skills, that wouldn't be nice, now would it?

Well Glenn, just a little to my background. I'm a German native and speak German, English, Dutch and and soso French.
I used your freetranslation.com no matter what I tried it never came out that "hard" and offensive --
"""assumes that a forum is to help each other not to write this stupid message. Please do not waste more time and worry about your life"""
Stupid means stupid in any country.
I see your point about the non speaking English participants on forums, but I can assure you this was an direct insult of a member here. Please read my response on page one again - he had plenty time to realize (if/when) it was a mistake.
And for triod, saying "
Stop showing your ignorance and supersized American attitude
" Is like saying - sorry I'm American.
The American Attitude made this Country great, not apologizing for it.
