I don't know if there is, but in case there isn't, there should be a vocabulary website where not only can you find how to describe an action, but also provides visual aid to make sure what you're saying makes sense. Even better if it comes in different languages, almost like WordReference.

As a non-native English speaker who writes mostly in English, this would be hella useful.

Spanish or Spaniard?

Ever since I discovered that non-Spanish speakers called people from Spain “Spaniards” instead of “Spanish”, I’ve been confused.

I have nothing against being called Spaniard or Spanish, I just feel closer to the latter because it’s how I’ve been referring to myself for most of my life. When I learned about it, the auxiliar teacher that was with us in class, an English-speaker, told us that if we went to the USA and said that you were Spaniard you’d be treated better than if you said you were Spanish because they understand that as if you were latino. Now, that’s just wrong. Not because I have anything against latinos, there are a lot here and they’ve never done anything wrong to me, but because that’s just horrible and unfair! If you’re gonna treat me poorly do it regardless of my country! Oh! Even better! Don’t mistreat people at all!

Apart from that, I have recently read that some people defend the correct word is Spaniard because “‘Spanish’ is the language”. Uh, hello? What about food or music? What? When people talk about Spanish Omelette or the Spanish Guitar, instead of eating or playing it, you’re reading & speaking it? Is that what you mean?

Now, I couldn’t care less about how you want to refer to me. But, please, stop misjudging people based on the word they use or saying things that can easily be discussed. Thank you

Sincerely,

@geekgirles
