I found this interesting.

Someone has begun selling "Bored of the Beckhams" t-shirts at www.boredofthebeckhams.com.

While a novel idea, they ROYALLY screwed the Spanish version (play close attention to the frame below that shows the Spanish version)...



"aburrido de los Beckhams" should be "Aburrido de los Beckham" (no "s" on the end).

Family names (last names) in Spanish when used in plural do not have an s on the end.

My last name "Reines" would be ok with this method (like saying "the Smiths") but a Spanish last name like Ena's (D�az) can not be "Los Diazes" Roll Eyes in Spanish.

Also, the English version has the first word "Bored" with a capital "B", so why does the Spanish version not use a capital "A" for "Aburrido"???

I just found these errors to be interesting and think it is funny (in a pathetic sort of way) that those who designed this t-shirt blew it.

Saludos,

Thanks for the link.....I suppose I should know this stuff....my son travels around the EEUU, Brazil, Scotland, etc. with his soccer pals, but my closest real association with the game was to be hit in the back of the head by a seat cushion during a Real Madrid match a couple of years ago.

I gather your Mr. Beckham is worth more than a few Euros.

I recently read an article on the BBC's website about people moving from England to Madrid in order to be close to Beckham. Now, of course I can't fault anyone who moves to Madrid. Smiler But it seems silly to me to move just for some athlete. Roll Eyes And I say that being a huge sports fan myself.
