What's Broken?

Have you ever heard of broken English? Have you ever heard someone recount an experience with someone else who made use of broken English? What kinds of feelings or attitudes were involved?

My experiences have included mostly negative connotations about broken English.

Have you ever heard someone you know share their Mexican adventures? Maybe it was a short trip across the border, a honeymoon in their Spanish paradise or just a visit to their favorite Mexican restaurant. I’ve heard them, too. Why don’t those stories include broken Spanish? It may sound funny, but putting an "O" after every English word doesn't constitute good Spanish.

So, who says what is broken? Stay blessed...john
