'Ustedes' is rarely used. We tend to use 'vosotros' more often.

What I meant was that 'usted' is used in singular second person.


Ah.

Yes, I am aware of your silly little "vosotros" that no one else uses. It's kind of adorable. :p

Glad to hear about the crisis calming down and the thin mints. I wonder if those two things are related.

They're not, but the Thin Mints certainly are helping me get back to happy mode.
Glad you're so happy. :hug:

What was the crisis about anyway, if you don't mind me asking?

It's an archaism. It's only used in Spain and it means the same thing as 'ustedes'. There really ins't anything complicated about it.

Internet War I: The First Flaming

Lasting four hours, the war was fought between the alliance of NationStates, a confederation of tribal forums united by Max Barry, and the cyberpunk nation of YouTube against the Googlish Empire and its BBC and Wikipedia allies. Late in the war, the entry of Bing, a long-time enemy of Google, is believed to have tilted the battle in favour of the NS-Youtube Alliance, which was able to drive back the Googlish forces and occupy much of the 4Chan Borderland.
