I consider myself castigada in that case


actually we say castigadoed in this house - a nice spaniglish word, don't you think

Who is this meant for??????????

quite possibly

amber alert for heat yesterday

but the red alert for rain today will hopefully sort that out

It is actually in the dictionary.......

One of funniest things for me about English is the "o".

My name was hoe say loo ees

And the castigad owed, is good or as the refined folk say

CAST EE GAR DOED.

Do you say MAT A DOOR or TO RER ROW.

This is one wor I am not to sure what the English use, but I think it is matador.

are you sure?

castigated yes, but castigadoed?

I know nothing about bullfighting but aren't they different things?

I say both - but if I say a spanish word I tend to say it with a spanish pronunciation

is one of those words an English invention then?

Yes it is in there, along with

iinclinardoes

hell-ardoes

waveoes

poe joes

deadoes

JLFS

ah

that dictionary

one of my students has been using that for years - I'm trying to get it off him but unfortunately he's shared it with other members of the group

I dont really know, the answer to that.

The word matador means killer of bulls, so it is not an English invention as such.
But maybe its use in this way is, I have heard the words like, torero, toreador used when talking about the more famous ones.

I have never heard of Fran or Cayetano Rivera being called a matador.

torero, is used in the sporting scence.

I have a feeling that matador is considered a bit dodgy in bullfighting circles.

Considering the word matadero= slaghterhouse, I can see why.

I suppose it is like calling a boxer, a scrapper or beater upper.

I maybe wrong because I am not the least bit interesed in bullfighting.
