This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Spanish lyrics spelled only with the English alphabet

That would be the Latin alphabet, which Spanish also uses.

The Spanish alphabet also has characters which the English alphabet does not use, such as ñ.

While both derive from the Latin alphabet, they both have different character sets, and I thus refer to them separately. Just like how Russian and Ukrainian both derive from the Cyrillic alphabet, but they do not use all the same characters.

Fair point, but what did you mean, then? It spelled things like "compañía" as "compania"?

Yes, lol. I turned the subtitles on thinking it would be translated and it was just stuff like that, it was actually quite funny to me.

Ah, I see what you mean. Pretty lazy of them!
