Bill De Blasio might be the new mayor of New York City, but it looks like he has hired El Bloombito to work on the “Spanish-language” welcome messages aboard New York City taxis.
I kind of want to reproach Mr. De Blasio for the faux pas, but I’m afraid he’ll take my complaint as a compliment or -worse- a complement.
What’s this blogger to do?
Sopunds like the same bloombito is getting around. Si, complaints = quejas, pero, complementos gets me.
Pero, here in Mazatlan , gallos describes, la idioma, “scallops” , and pico short for spicy, we say pica , pero pico deguy-yo. Sr, Spanglish Bloombito gets around.
Tal vez, ven a Mazatlan, si, or see “Maz”, our Spanglish esta excellente!
