No jacinto, not every flower bloom in springtime, some of them wait till summer, but this time I wanted to be fair with Siren, but well just couldn't
fathervic (un tu cualquiera)
Oh, estoy profundamente apenado por no haber leido tu post a conciencia y me disculpo por ello, a mi tampoco me gusta que me hablen de usted, me hace sentir viejo siendo que todavía soy un párvulo.
Translation: It's a bit hard to translate this tu/usted issue, but Venancio (FatherVic) is threatening me with the second spaniard invasion in 500 years, it seems that that these guys want our national treasures: miguelitos and cajeta.

You're a multilingual troll indeed, I see. But let me correct you to learn a bit more: "català". The catalan accents could be ` or ´, but there's a simple rule with the "a": the accent is ` in every case.
@Rei Toei: Yep, I understand your purpose, sometimes I'm too accurate with the expressions, and I was just setting the point. No offense meant, man.
@Thanatos: I apologize, I thought the post by Rei Toi was your post. I pray for your forgiveness. No comments in the issue with your Venancio, and personally I support you preserving the miguelito and the cajeta, no matter what in hell are.

spanish has formal and informal ways of saying you the usage depending on the person you're talking to and/or the circumstances. they are:
tu (singular informal) / usted (singular formal)
vosotros (plural informal) / ustedes (plural formal)
obviously the difference doesn't come across in translating to english, but if you use the informal "you" where the formal is required, you run the risk of sounding presumptuous or even arrogant. let's say that 'tu' is used when talking with friends or close acquaintances in general, while 'usted' is used when talking with others.
astarte used usted with reference to fathervic, and both him and thanatos replied they prefer to be referred to as tu otherwise they feel rare, odd and pretty much older.
feel free to correct me if i mistook something

In the spanish from Spain it's just what you said (formal/informal usage). But ppl from South America use to say "usted" as normally to speak in an informal way. (almost in some spaniard countries)

it's not a great thing to be Spaniard the day of Mexico's independency, and hear Mexico's president shouting that on TV
weird tradition, though!
I don't recall anyone saying something about spaniards in our independence day, everybody is interested only in eating as much pozole as posible and getting drunkexactly at 23:00.
Gachupines was a mean way to call spaniards in the colony days, it's not used very much nowadays.
@|ngenius and FatherVic: By the way, how does it feel to have Ned Flanders as the president of your country?

@Thanatos: Ned Flanders? I thought he was Charles Chaplin!!!
@Rahvin: A world full of gachupines? (That word sounds sooooo bad)

well Ned Flanders would say Hola Holita...and I haven't heard that so far...I'll give him some time though....
as for gachupín, itself....it's quite the oposite siren, you know, how on earth could we discover something was already crowded???
fathervic (not really etimological)

the strict translation for gachupín is "Spaniard"...
but you could only use it in Mexico...it's the "rude" way to name Spanish people, specially taken from the time when Spain invaded a BIG part of America....I'm still ashamed that we really thought we had discovered something, when it was full of people already living there...
