disagree  Juan Jacob: No contesta la ridícula pregunta, ni hay que contestarla. "Disagrí" no contigo, sino con una invasión cada vez mayor de ridiculeces que los moderadores no quieren detener.
25 mins
  ->  ???????? I didn't do anything but answer the question! You, on the other hand did not have to comment if the question offended you! That is not the purpose of this box!
agree  David Hollywood: Taña tiene razón y tu también... hay que saber armar las preguntas
1 hr
  -> Gracias David.
agree  philgoddard: It is an odd question, but I don't see why Juan Jacob is disagreeing with you.
5 hrs
  -> Thanks. I do! He stated his reasons in his response which are ridiculous! I just answered the question, regardless of the lack of courtesy on the part of the Asker.
agree  neilmac: The asker is clearly out of his depth translating ES-EN. I understand JJ's frustration.

  -> Thanks. However, our job here is to help not to criticize (my mouth has got me in trouble too many times. LOL!).
