FROM: Group Offices London
TO: All Spanish Staff
SUBJECT: Improper Language Usage

It's been brought to our attention by several officials visiting our headquarters that the Spanish staff commonly uses offensive language. Such behaviour, in addition to violating our group's policy, is highly unprofessional and offensive to both visitors and the staff itself.

Therefore it is requested to our Spanish staff to adhere immediately to the following rules:

1. Foreign colleagues or visitors should not be referred to as " ese guiri de mierda ".

2. Words like " coño" , " puta mieda ", and other such expressions will not be used for emphasis, no matter how heated the discussion is.

3. You will not say " la ha cagao " when someone makes a mistake, or " la está cagando " if you see somebody being reprimanded, or " ¡qué cagada! " when major mistake has been made. All direct or derived forms of the verb " cagar " are inappropriate in our environment.

4. No Project Manager, Section Supervisor or Head of Administration Chief, will be referred to, under any circumstances, as " el hijo de la gran puta ", or " el muy cabrón " or even " el comemierda ".

5. Lack of determination will not be referred as to " falta de huevos " or " mariconería " nor will persons with a lack of initiative be ever referred to as " capullo " or " acojonado ".

6. Unusual and/or creative ideas shall not be referred to as " pajas mentales " in particular when they stem from your manager.

7. You will not say " cómo me jode " if a person is persistent, or " está jodido " or " se lo van a follar " if a colleague is going through a difficult situation. Furthermore, when matters become complicated the words " qué jodienda " should not be used.

8. When asking someone to leave you alone, you must not say " vete a tomar por culo ", nor should you ever substitute the most educated "may I help you?" with " ¿que coño quieres ahora? "

9. If things get tough, an acceptable expression such as we are going through a difficult time should be used rather than " esto esta jodido " or " nos van a follar a todos ". Additionally, if you make a mistake, just say so and do not say " que putada " or any expressions composed with the root "puta".

10. No salary increase shall ever be referred to as " subida de mierda ".

11. Last, but not least, after reading this note please do not say " me voy a limpiar el culo con ella " or " me la paso por el forro de los cojones ".

Just keep it clean and odorless and dispose of it properly.

B. regards

I think the influence of the other cultures on the food in my country always is a positive and wealth-producing contribution. In fact, all the cultures are the result of the influence of many cultures.

Really in all our cities there are establishments of fast food where we can take delight with a frankfurt, burger or a pizza but these establishments suppose often a fast resource for an unexpected situation.

It is true that fast food is the favourite dish for the children, and the young generations always goes to this type of establishment because there are a less expensive that others restaurants. However, I think in the adult age we return to consume the food and the traditional dishes. food children all this type of food ràpida, I in the adolescence són the most frequented establecimiento, owed partly by his(her,your) low prices, in the adult age we tend to return to consume the food i domestic plates.

The change in the diet habits does not justify only for the influence of other cultures.

I believe the change in the diet habits is because the families have just a short time to elaborate the traditional dishes, which have a longer elaboration. For this reason we replace our traditional habit for another type of food of more easy preparation (a piece of pizza, for example), and we are losing the food tradition of our country.

Every time we cooked less meat and vegetable stew, or noodles in fish stock, for this reason our children grow in a culinary different tradition, and if we lose our tradition, we lose a part of our cultural wealth.
