Loren most Ancient Roman grammarians found the barbaric mangling of Latin by soldiery extracted from round the empire equally insulting but if they’d had their way Spanish French Romanian blah blah blah would never’ve arisen.

In fact various Spaniards of my acquaintance’ve admitted to me they find South American use of the language horrible.

But I know what they mean because my hackles go up every time I hear Homer Simpson say “nuc-u-lear” even though I actually disagree with myself for feeling that way!

Such is language.

I do not agree with the use of “Chupacabra” versus “Chupacabras,” the preferred spelling (for both singular and plural meanings for these cryptids). Most Spanish-speaking people find it insulting to use “Chupacabra,” a term invented mostly by Texans in the media. I am sensitive to what locals/natives/indigenous folks call their cryptids. Some people are not.

I also disagree with the use of the word “mythical” versus “legendary.” It is subtle, but words are important.
