For instance, Basque is considered very old because the evidence is that there have been Basque speakers in Spain and France since at least the 2nd century BC and probably longer than that

I guess you didn't read this under "Age of Sister Languages" :

"Many linguists do date languages to when they split from their parent tongue. For instance, French and Spanish are both descended from Latin"

And who are you calling a city worker?

Now back to the topic of the thread.

Somebody missed a very obvious typo.
 
Hmm.

Reminds me of someone I met once who claimed to speak "American". Didn't the GOP-Congress, after 9/11, change English Muffins to Toledo Toast?

I went through some old company literature of mine, back from when I was ISA, ASA, and DOA...it was ABORICULTURE, on everything referenced. I even had the trucks painted ALAMO ARBORICULTURAL INC. I only copied what ISA always printed themselves as, my membership right.

But ARBORCULTURE sounds better, uses less ink, and eliminates the evil "I".
 
Holly, you're giving Jasper a run for his money. Western Civilization is generally accepted to have begun in Greece and Italy.

...and what's the problem with making up words? Language is flexible and constantly changing.
 
Back when we rode dinosaurs to school, we had to read the FIRST book written in English. It was written by Geoffrey Chaucer "The Canterbury Tales", all I want to say about that book is thanks to Jesus (another word with arguable cultural origins) that languages DO evolve!

Maybe but I'll sitck to my guns on it being spanish base.
Arbor spanish means tree


[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, Holly, since you brought it up, the Spanish word for tree is Arbol.

Other related words are arbolista (arborist), and arboricultura (arboriculture).

Haha, sorry Holly. I couldn't help it.

Don't forget the LATINAS, too!

The answer to your question is that Latinos/as are from Latin America. We shouldn't confuse Spanish-speaking folks with actual Spaniards, who are not Latinos/as. Spaniards don't like that much at all.

I guess this still validates your point in that Spanish-speaking Latin America is called just that.

I'm a literate old fart who can spell "field" correctly, among other things. Don't get your young panties in such a bunch.

It really doesn't fit me does it? I can't bat for the other team cuz I'm too damn hairy.

That and the fact that I'm too obsessed with women for my own good.

Guy, in Spanish, many occupations or vocations end in 'a' regardless of gender. The suffix is 'ista' as in 'Dentista' or 'Artista.' There are lots of others that I can't think of right now, but suffice to say it is an occupational or political affiliation suffix.

Some gender specific occupation suffixes end in ero/a, such as 'carpintero/a, (carpenter), and mesero/a (waiter/waitress).

There are other non-gender specific ones like 'albanil' (mason) and 'doctor' (doctor).

There you have it. I hope all the tough guy tree doctors can deal with the femenine sounding 'arbolista,' cuz it is what it is.

I talked with Doug at Bishop over the weekend. This wasn't the first problem they had with this order. When they finally got their first batch of about 50K they saw it (no pun intended). They were already late on getting them and had about 70K still getting shiped. They are upset about it, but they wanted to get their catalog out.
