Right. Generally speaking if you say you are Spanish it mean you are from Spain. However, when someone who is obviously not from Spain says that they are Spanish it is a colloquialism that means they are of Spanish ancestry.

Norwegian and english fluently. I can understand other nordic languages, but I really shouldn't try to speak them unless for laughs. I know just enough german to make an ass of myself.

Ich bin ein dümkopf und ich liebe wienerschnitzel. Mein Auto ist kaput, wo ist die toilette?

Appearantly, being multi-linguistic excercices the brain and helps prevent alzheimers and so on at an old age. As such, maybe the peoples who have to learn second or even third languages have a significant collective health benefit over those who don't.

This is why I'm saving up for Rosetta Stone.

Thanks for backing me up on this one. The kids so full of himself he projects his definitions onto other countries and cultures entierly. Drives me ****ing bonkers.

One again, Adidasss goes off on another "I know better than America" tirade and we're all supposed to tell him he's intelligent. I can't imagine where his entitlement comes from.
