    Maybe they should have tried ebonics

    This just gets more and more unreal:

    The site, CuidadoDeSalud.gov, launched more than two months late.A Web page with Spanish instructions linked users to an English form.
    And the translations were so clunky and full of grammatical mistakes that critics say they must have been computer-generated — the name of the site itself can literally be read "for the caution of health."
    "When you get into the details of the plans, it's not all written in Spanish. It's written in Spanglish, so we end up having to translate it for them," said Adrian Madriz, a health care navigator who helps with enrollment in Miami.

    Why did you feel a need to start another thread on this topic when you'd already commented in the first one?

    I sense some anger issues here. In fact this place seems overrun with angry cons.
