Is Portuguese on loan to Brazil? Is Spanish on loan to Mexico?
In a way, yes it is. I embrace linguistic diversity, but don't find myself being as generously welcoming when my English gets corrected into American English, and when I use software where the language option is American and there is no British English option - yeah, that does piss me off.
The interesting point about Spanish is that its most purest form is actually in Columbia and Mexico and not Spain.

Favelas are dangerous places.
Yes, I realise they can be. Have you actually been into one though?
