Jenny, I think that you're really cool! ( ) How have you managed to develop such an accomplished grasp of the language? Do you write (in spanish) quite a lot, as you have an intuitive feel for the presence and positioning of accents and other punctuating marks?

[jenny]

Thank you Jama. I don't know why, I guess it's just a natural talent (the only one I have ) I am a linguist y punto

Once you learn to speak it properly, the accents are easy as they are where the stress is in a word (not like French!) and if you use word it puts little red lines under anything that's misspelt or has the accent missing or in the wrong place. You can learn a lot like that if you have the Spanish Dictionary installed.

Ah, excellent, thanks for that. The mistake that I made before is ONLY enabling the spanish character set on the keyboard, but NOT in the dictionary. I'll have to look into that and get it sorted. Abrazos fuertes para ti........

hahaha oh karl what are you like!!

[jamafrind]

Jenny, I wonder of you can help here? I've just installed the Spanish Proofing Tools for Windows, which supposed to allow spell-checking/editing in Spanish. Something appears to be not-quite-right. Even when I deliberately misspell words and omit accents, the spell checking facility doesn't identify these glaring errors. Do you have microsoft version of the spanish dictionary, or a version from elsewhere?? Please help..??

[jenny]

I have Microsoft version in Windows. Not sure what you can do there - that is a bit techy for me. Stripps' husband Neil might be able to help.

Jenny, I have a question for you..

If I wanted to say, "I should have gone to the bank yesterday", would that be correctly expressed as, "debería haber ido al banco ayer" or "debo haber ido al banco ayer"? Which is correct? ....or, neither?...

Cheers.......

[Ezzy]

everytime you leave a post jama i always think your explanations are full of sexual inuendos i cant help but giggle!!

[jamafrind]

Hmm, interesting Ezzy. Perhaps it's the reference to banking that helps certain thoughts come rushing into your mind...?

[Ezzy]

you have a controversial way of explaining yourself ha ha ha xx

[jamafrind]

Jenny, are you there....?

[jamafrind]

Ah, thanks for the clarification Jenny....
