Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I'm only married to a spaniard, I only speak 'American English', and I asked my wife how you should introduce yourself, then typed in what she told me to type...
She told me it was a fitting way for you to introduce yourself, and I'm guessing at what it means, just like "Tu me voelves loquito" means "I love you very much", which she is always telling me. Such a sweet girl...

So, why is it so hard to acquire a BASIC understanding of the English language in order to become a citizen here, if they can learn it in other countries thousands of miles away from here, on completely different continents? It's not like they're asking people to become English majors.
Keep those excuses coming. this is getting really amusing.

Agreed. Without getting into a discussion on Broca's area (look it up), I think you'll find most people who become citizens meet said requirement. Getting back to the original point of your avatar possibly making you look foolish (not name calling here, just stating an opinion), and after providing proof there is no official language, defense rest, your honor (still not name calling).
Addendum: I still love the fact we are a melting pot, as it would be pretty boring to have only one language allowed in this country.

Try flipping your statement around, and you'll say there is nothing that states they have to cater to you who do not speak the same language as them. Now, what say you?
Push 1 for English, 2 for Spanish, or 3 for Gibberish.

I fully agree. There is nothing that says whoever doesn't speak my language needs to cater to me. In fact, most countries have a recognized language. I would be an idiot to become a citizen somewhere that I could not communicate with people.
