#2

Which brings me to point #2, well first point #2a which is: Why Doesn't Latin America understand the " ?
I have to ask, is it grammatically proper to use "" if you are saying:
POR FAVOR "NO" TOCAR.
(please "don't" touch?)

or if the name of your restaurant is:
HOTEL "GRANADITAS"
(Hotel "pomegranite")

or:
BAR "RICAS TORTAS"
("Good sandwiches" bar)

?
?
?

I think maybe they are confusing "" with an underline.

Real point #2 is "why do I have this look on my face?"

Your dad says, in answer to #2, "I know that look. It means she is between 2 places."

Your mom says, you are irritated and trying to listen "patiently" (note correct use of "" to convey "not patiently") to someone explain why he/she put cockroaches in your bed again, or why the sink cannot be unclogged and you will just have to endure the yucky shower water raising around your ankles.

OR YOU JUST REALISED PAN-AM WENT OUT OF BUISNESS 20 YEARS AGO. IT SOUNDS LIKE INGA IS HOLDING UP WELL UNDER YOUR BROTHERS STEWARDSHIP, ALTHOUGH HE SAYS IT DOESN'T SEND UP MUCH OF A BOW-WAVE WHEN CHARGING THROUGH DEEP WATER. I THINK IT IS THE HIGH GROUND CLEARANCE AND SKINNY TYRES. ALSO, PHI CALLED ME THE OTHER DAY AND ASKED IF THE OIL SHOULD BE CHECKED WARM OR COLD. I SAID IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER, BUT THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT REST AT LEAST A COUPLE OF MINUTES SO THE OIL COULD ALL DRAIN INTO THE CRANKCASE, TO GET AN ACCURATE READING. THAT IS GOOD THAT THEY ARE CHECKING.

No, I am explaining to somebody that actually the PAN-AM is thriving. and you can still drive from alaska to patagonia on it.

I am glad they are checking. or at least phi is checking. I wonder how bad she is leaking. Beck hasn't talked about holding a newpaper over his head while he drives yet, has he? Well I guess it's now or never. so what the damage so far? HAVE YOU TRIED TO DRIVE NORTH! WELL DON'T BECAUSE THE ROAD IS COMPLETELY WASHED OUT!!!

Anyway, i think it would be cooler if she put up a rooster tail, instead of a bow wave.
