    He might have not been "Mexican" but instead Zapotec or Mixtec. Do you know where in Mexico he came from or if he spoke something other than spanish? The indigenous people in southern Mexico are similar to what you described your friend as.

    Never said he was Mexican. He's here illegally.

    Many times when I'm talking with someone from Mexico I ask where in Mexico they are from. You learn tons and they very much appreciate it.

    Oscar was telling me how his Grandkid's cousins were amazed at what they spent on stuff here when they recently vacationed back home.

    They can't even grasp what life in America is like apparently. (Mexico)

    My little buddy was Elme to me all these years. That's the name on his fake stuff. His real name is Angel or something.

    Now he's working for some illegal Romanian hack shop because all the big shops are being more careful about hiring illegals.

    Psst.

    It's Colombian. Columbian is someone who lives along the Columbia river in Canada, Washington, or Oregon.

    I've been to Colombia a few times, beautiful country. Back in the 80s my uncle bought a working flour mill up in the mountains, had a working water wheel in it. Turned it into a really cool home with the water wheel turning inside of the living room. He sold for big money and used that to buy trucks to haul chickens. At least that's what he told us what the trucks were for.

    Uh oh! and here you told me you won all the spelling contests. :cool2:

    The spelling specialist in here remind me of my days as a development manager.

    The first time it came to mind was when I was reviewing the results of a Design Review to see what sort of
    criticisms and comments we were getting. Sort of a gauge on where we really were, in making progress.
    Nearly 100 total documented criticisms and comments in all, so that was worth while. Well maybe not quite so much when you dig a little deeper.

    I had about 20 of my people in the review and probably 15 more from outside, System assurance people and Field people. Just about 70% of the items were friggin spelling errors! That is a lot of high paid horses spending time and energy to find spelling errors!

    I told my lead guy to add another step in the review process, have the Review ready documents reviewed by three secretaries and correct after this, before sending them out for Design Review. I can't see these errors, apparently you guys can't either, but they can, and way less costly.

    One more rule was implemented, spelling errors were not to be documented as Design review errors. Just a mark in the document.
