MDC Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I hate the "+1" maneuver, and its equally obnoxious cousin, "This" ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I think it needs to be retired from the internet in general.Damn right it does. (And people think you and I don't agree on anything.) I think we should institute a demerit system here. If you use "fail", "win", "well played", "meh", "anyhoo", etc. in a post, you get a demerit. Once you've accumulated a set number of demerits you are banned for being entirely unoriginal.So I can still say "well played sir"?You're an aspiring writer. You can do better.

infrared41 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Watching "El Heat" vs. "Los Spurs"...WHERE DO THEY GET THEIR ESPANOL FROM?It should be "Calor" vs. "Espuelas"!Is simply adding "the" in Spanish to the jerseys just a tad insulting to the people the NBA wanted to acknowledge in the first place? I don't know, it just seems a little condescending to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopskid Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I'm not sure, but I'm assuming that most spanish speaking people when talking about basketball don't say:¿Viste el calor jugar las espuelas?Rather they say: ¿Viste el Heat jugar las Spurs?If someone who speaks spanish and talks to his friends about the NBA can post some insight...

It would still be Heat and Spurs. Not entirely sure, but I think you're right.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Not entirely sure, but I think you're right.You guys are right, and as already had been confirmed somewhere around these boards earlier, in other languages people do refer to them using their English names, in Spanish adding the article, for example.
