Gringos?

That brings up another subject, why is it that Caucasians don't have any offensive slang words? We are called by all sorts of slang (i.e., cracker, white-bread, hunkie, and so on), but we don't have something equivalent to the n-word/

No reply is needed -- just a comment.

Thanks for pointing out the *who* instead of *that* :), since I didn't realized
it until now.

That's alright, many English writers get that wrong. You see, when the object is not a person, then the use of "that" is proper. However, if you are referring to a person, then "who" is proper.

I see a similar thing with people using "then" when they mean "than", but that may be a Brit thing -- like driving on the wrong side of the street or eating with their fork in the wrong hand -- you know one of those cultural things that went haywire. :-)

Cheers,
