&lt;br /&gt;
For instance, have you noticed when you walk in to Target, at the customer service section it says, "Servicio al Huesped?"&amp;nbsp; Huesped means 'guest,' as in, 'hotel guest.'&amp;nbsp; It is supposed to read: 'Atención al Cliente.'&amp;nbsp; Well folks, there are much&amp;nbsp;more examples to point out, but even better, there is a solution to this and it is about doing things right the first time.&amp;nbsp; Unfortunately, many people&amp;nbsp;dont know,&amp;nbsp;nowadays, if something is written or said incorrectly, because it has been becoming so commonly used, in the wrong way.&amp;nbsp; It is not until you become acquainted to a true native Spanish speaker that you come to find out how bad our American Spanish has gotten.&lt;br /&gt;
