>>My ancestors Iberian divided the world into two and split among them... Then they made that mistake in 1588. Here we are. Now we are going to correct that mistake.<< Looks like the Iberians are really gung ho about ganging up, having agreed to unify their spelling. Lula's public libraries are a great idea too. That's how Mq learned about science, technology, and his beloved Donald Duck... Brazil's Lula Signs New Portuguese Spelling Accord, Folha Says bloomberg.com By [bn:PRSN=1] Laura Price [] Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva signed an agreement to make changes to Portuguese spelling in Brazil, Folha de S. Paulo reported. The South American country will be the first to begin adopting the new laws under the Portuguese Language Spelling Accord in 2009, Folha said. Lula also plans to open a public library in every Brazilian municipality by 2009, Folha said. The spelling reform, which has been in discussion since 1990 by the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, will affect about 0.5 percent of words in Brazil and aims to simplify spellings by eliminating some ``silent' letters and accents, the newspaper said. The reform will also standardize some spellings that differ from country to country, Folha said. Brazil, Portugal, Cape Verde, Sao Tome and Principe, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and East Timor make up the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, Folha said.

ElM, here's a rabble who need Anglo. How are we supposed to know what's going on with jungle lingo like that? It looks as though they need to get real jobs stringing out fibre and installing CDMA/OFDM base stations instead of being Troppo at a beach. youtube.com Hat tip to Ponokee, currently awol in some such unAnglo place but due to the wonders of cyberspace is able to communicate. Are you going to be nice when you Iberianize? What about that crowd of Basques who make Spain a Basquet case of terrorism? The last time I was in Portugal, there was gunfire and a revolution. Fortunately, the British still have Gibraltar, so there is a bit of civilization in the vicinity [we cannot count British Chav tourists on cheap holidays to the region who are not necessarily as civilized as dinkum Anglos] Meanwhile, hat tip to TJ too for pointing out the need for a moment of silence: Message 25898911 I found myself taking several moments of silence as well as some contemplative introspection.
