[@luisonelio70]

For people who feel exhausted, in real life, latinos do this for hours at a party. It is more effective and fun than going to a gym.

As a Latino, I can confirm this

[@Dulcebelladela]

You got that right.

they REALLY do that!? WHY? i mean...are these dance moves part pf there culture or something?

[@janedoe1435]

@@sanskritiverma8010 uuuuuumm sure. YES. Yes it is. I totally do this everyday. My family and I don't actually walk into a room, we actually dance... into a room. When I take a shower, I dance very carefully so I don't slip and break my neck. Plus I wear a massively huge sombrero and listen to La cucaracha at least 10 times a day. We do it because it's super fun and we simply can't help ourselves! And that's exactly how we all dance too. 😁

@burteriksson In terms of slang practice, this is a very common use of "aint". To protest that there are strict rules concerning such terms is pretentious and off base.

[@hd-xc2lz]

@burteriksson Thumbing up your own comments? Honestly, my heart breaks for you.

[@hd-xc2lz]

@burteriksson Burt, you sound awfully lonely. Wheelchair bound perhaps? Anyway, scolding strangers is not the way to go. You can make far more engaging, positive connections on sites that suit your interests, e.g. plenty of sites devoted to study of language, with lively comment sections.

[@edinfific2576]

@burteriksson "THERE little games"? For someone who's correcting others on the words usage, you fell short. Other than that, I agree with you on criticizing apparently thoughtless usage of the English language. It's a shame that those whose primary, and often only, language is English are struggling and failing even with the simplest words.

We're not as thin skinned as other groups because (I think) our history. All Latin countries fought for independence and won, which empowered the people to have a more positive outlook.
