This is an interesting article, even though there's only one example of Spanglish in it (that I could detect):

I once parked a truck and camper next to a small building in Juarez, thinking it was okay to leave it there for a few moments of shopping. As I walked away, the shop owner came out of the building and ran after me shouting, "Favor! No parquiar su troque aqui." While this sentence was neither English nor Spanish, I certainly understood that I'd left my vehicle in the wrong place and moved it. This must warm the descriptivist heart but chill the heart of the language "puritans" described in the article.

one of the commercials (the cheerio's one) has been running for a few weeks now in NYC/metro area. i thought it was nice.. its part of a continueing series of family's (and semi or not yet verbal kids being 'overlooked', making themselves known, and grabbing cheerio's (at first it, the kids were the stars.. (grandma using cheerio's as 'points on a map' and the kid 'eating cleaveland' --latter a dad holding a baby in his lap, but more concerned with the paper and his breakfast, and the infant reaching out and taking some of dad's cereal.. (and which point dad notices the kids.)

Language, is not the focus of the ad--i know a smattering of spanish, and could understand the cheerio commercial.

but you could use asians, and have them speaking chinese, and the commercial would still work.. Its family, together, and product.

i haven't seen the camry ad, but i suspect its somewhat the same.. fathers and son, and product.

every culture wants it's sons to do well..

Thanks, AsP - an interesting article (of the type we used to discuss much more on this forum than recently, na?)

As a matter of fact, I couldn't notice a single Spanglish formation (though that didn't diminish its interest in terms of the code-switching, language community and loan-word points) - so what have I missed?
