- Oh very good, bravo!! And speaking of that horrid commercial (I see
- you stay up all night listening to NewsRadio88 too), has anyone noticed
- that the original version of the commercial stated that "S O C K S"
- ("eso si que es") means "that's what I want" in Spanish? Now it's
- translated as "that's what it is".
-
- Questions: "Eso si que es" doesn't mean "that's what I want", does it?
- If not, how in the heck does a language-teaching institute get away
- with claiming that it does and still stay in business? There must be
- some ULs associated with this change in the commercial's wording --
- preferably ULs involving Generalissimo Franco.
