Re: [Marxism] Spanish

[rohanger@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I am sorry now that I dared to request a translation of Spanish because, 
notwithstanding Nestor Gorojovsky's sympathetic contributions, I feel like I 
have commited some kind of dreadful faux pas by the reaction of some other 
comrades. There was some Spanish languageÂdiscussion of Charles Darwin in 
South America that I was particularly interested in for a range of reasons 
(including a "personal bias" due the fact that he came to my own distant 
provincial backwater of Hobart, Australia, and climbed Mt Wellington). I 
think my error was in asking for translations generally rather than for an 
explanation of the particular discussion and also because my contribution was 
admittedly bit half/half between polite request and complaint (I think it was 
closer to polite request).ÂÂMark Lause's contributionÂthat list members 
should be familiar with Spanish from day to day exposure - well that's just 
nonsense. I live in Australia not the US, and in a rather
 un-cosmopolitan / Anglo part of Australia to boot. I have actually 
thoughtÂabout taking Spanish lessons but I am torn between Spanish and German 
because I have relatives in Austria (where my name comes from) and I already 
did a year of German in high school.
Â
On the other hand, I don't think I should have to appologise for not being 
literate in Spanish!
