Chilindrina's family tree is nothing but a peeing stop for dogs, and thats why he's crying a river.

many dominicans have peed in his cereal bowl!!!

Mono aunque se vista de seda mono se queda.

When did I get offended? Oh by me admitting that you were right means I was offended? Are you serious?

Excuse me if I have spent more time speaking English, French than I do Spanish or Creole, wow amongst other languages I have to deal with, big freaking deal.

Okay and... thanks?

By the way my mother and mother's mother's tongue is Spanish. Unfortunately I partially was raised in Washington Heights, New York, among other places I have been such as Canada, France and Germany where people intellectually put more emphasis on comprehension and understanding of a language before phonetic grammars.

Which I am not saying is not just as important to consider, but was that a way of debasing me of some kind or to say the least prove that I am not Dominican like most have on here because I am part Haitian and part Jew as well that I am somehow less Dominican? Well, tell the growing numbers of my other latinos I know whom do not know a word of Spanish when both of their parents are full blooded latinos. Look my dear, I speak just about 8 languages with the addition of others I am responsible to have a minimum of 30% comprehension of to be in this Army position that I am in. In my field of work which we train even Dominican soldiers in DR, do you think I really have the time to worry about banal basic redundant cultural grammar errors?

Point is, can you really honestly tell me that you did not understand what I meant by these words which you have im(boldened) out, to say the least comprehend in what context I have used them? However, I am always learning regardless of slight semantic arguments there may be on the context of actually how the usage of certain words. So again I hear you and just as I suppose I am saying... thanks?

Sorry guys to disappoint you but I have an argument which indicates otherwise:

A lot of great merengue super stars were born in Puerto Plata or nearby in and around the north coast such as el Cieguito de Nagua, Fernadito Villalona, Altamira banda show and many others. And I know what I am going to say is going to cause controversy, but technically and geographically though they were born in areas that are considered part of the Cibao, they don't come from locations which represent the true and authentic Cibaeño culture like it is for example La vieja Fefa, El Prodigio and giovanny polanco.

I know some of you are going to want to kill me, but think of it this way and let me give you an example. In the US Florida is geographically part of the South, composed of a group of states which include GA, TN, AL, WVA, SC, NC, DE, VA, MD but the realitiy is that other then for a few pockets of red necks in north florida, there is nothing southern about the state of Florida other then location.

Similarly, in the DR once you cross over la Cordillera and end up on the other side, it is a dfferent ambiance altogether, a lot of totally non-cibaeño characteristics show-up quite noticeably, particularly in the speech patterns as one among many other things to point out. Cibaeño culture is simply not present and visibly evident at all what so ever in and around Puerto Plata and most of the North Coast. Sorry but you got to be a Cibaeño to know one.

Lo Puerto Platense y la gente de la costa norte NO son cibaeños. Un cibaeño verdadero viene de tierra adentro.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but by whose standards are ppl from Puerto Plata and the North Coast not "real" Cibaeños? Is my family from Cabrera which is a coastal beach town in the Northeast not "real" Cibaeños because they don't come from a place that would be considered "tierra adentro"?
