I thought FREE was GRATIS. |

With only my weak understanding of Latin, "libertas" would be relevant to "freedom," whereas "gratia (or something like that)" would be relevant to "free," as in something given, like a favor. Like "liberty" and "gratuity." Therefore, Smitty's onto something. |

Yes,darling,'Free' is in fact 'gratis'. ;) |

^Not only that...El Condado mofado translates as something like "the mocked county". I think it should have been more like "El mofado de Boone". arriba, also means up or above. |

But bad grammar Spanish is better than no Spanish at all, and, let's face it, no one was about to translate it personally. There are people here that know both languages well enough to do this fairly quickly. It's about caring enough to do something for someone else, and taking the time to DO IT DECENTLY (or at least say "I used an on-line translator that screws things up"). |

^ Very accurate! I just think "any questions" is "cualquier preguntas". If I'm wrong, please correct me, as I haven't spoken Spanish in some time. |

You didn't say that it was from a translator. If I were quickly scanning it - yeah, it looks like Spanish, maybe I or someone else wouldn't have bothered to try a "real" translation. And this is for an organisation - not her wanting to know how to say, "Soy estupida y no hablo español - ¿Hablas ingles? Y dónde está el baño?" - it should have DECENT grammar. And trust me, translators can murder things beyond understanding... It's a popular game on some forums - you translate to a language and translate back and it's so funny-haha because it makes no sense at all. |
