“They goin’ to put you back in chains!” LOL

I did an Iowa LULAC rally for Al Haig in 1987. They were still laughing about Gerald Ford not taking the corn husks off his tamale before biting into it.

Run, Slow Joe, RUN! Also, I’d like just one of those he says are going “back in chains” to tell me when and for how long they were in chains before...

BTW, no offense intended but ONE is a “tamal”, two or more are “tamales”. There is no such word as “tamale”.

You are confounding two different things: theory vs reality.

Spanish speaking natives, or expert Spanish speakers know that. Most Americans of any other ethnicity don't.

The difference between the spoken word and the written word also plays a role.

99.9% of us don't know and don't care. Don't be a jerk.

So that hot tamale down the street is really a hot tamal?

I don't care how they say it in Mexico. Here, we say, 'I'll have another tamale, thank you.'
