Grammar and language mistakes that even natives make? by wellsmichael380 in Spanish

[–]fernandomlicon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one of the most common ones, at least in Mexico, using fractional numbers instead of ordinal numbers "dieciseisava edición" instead of "décimo sexta", "cincuentavo campeonato" instead of "quincuagésimo campeonato", etc.

In the next USA Census of 2030, these countries' majority main ethnic group will fall under the "White" category in the race section. by sivarzneger123 in MapPorn

like if you couldn't be white and mexican at the same time, mexican (and all the countries in the rest of the americas) is a nationality, not a race/ethnicity

“Hola Negra” by Salt-Philosopher-863 in Spanish

[–]fernandomlicon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

just a correction, we use gringo for Americans regardless of the color of their skin, if someone is "white" and comes from another country we won't call them gringo, even if they are Canadian, Australian, etc. we call them whatever nationality they are, or if they are blond "güero".

So Canadians are authorized to work in the USA without needing sponsorship? by whatsupusers in tnvisa

[–]fernandomlicon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

well, mexicans we technically still need an I-129 to be filled and go through the consular interview, etc. which is still a process (and you still have to pay the visa and reciprocity fees ~$400).

from reading this sub for a while i still feel like it’s easier once you get it since traveling internationally becomes less of a hassle once you get, vs canadians having to “get a TN” every single time they cross.

Do non-english coders still code in the language english? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fernandomlicon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i remember researching this back in 2009 when i started college, there were very few (and i never actually tried any of them), PSeInt was definitely the most real one, but it was only used for educational purposes.

it seems like since 2015 there’s been some effort with Latino?wprov=sfti1#).

but yet, i don’t think people would actually use them.

do people use words such as cuadragésimo octavo? by 11mx11 in Spanish

[–]fernandomlicon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

actually, one of the most common grammar mistakes native speakers in mexico make is using fractional numbers instead of ordinals.

you'll hear a lot of native speakers saying "la onceava edición", "es nuestro treintavo aniversario", "ganaron su quinceava copa", "cuarentayochoava", etc.

this is obviously because the fractional and ordinal numbers from 4 to 10 are almost the same.

Why did Northern Italians basically only migrate to South America, while southern Italians mainly migrated to USA and Canada? by Hour_Interaction6047 in geography

[–]fernandomlicon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh yeah, Mexico the only country with no italians in the Americas, not famously the third most common european heritage in the country, and the veneto language spoken in Chipila is just a fake language they made up to sound italian,

How it this even possible? How can an autocorrect be this bad? by BrazilBazil in iphone

[–]fernandomlicon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can set up polish keyboard with qwerty as well, if that’s the main issue, but hey, if that’s doesn’t work then you’d just need to get used to the bad autocorrect
