    How are your English language skills? (FTFY) Not bad considering I also speak Scottish, Welsh, Canadian, American and Australian amongst others. :)

              Sorry - I searched for Scottish Mustard, but they all seem to have whiskey in them, a crime of a magnitude I just cannot comprehend!

              Surely they had whisky in them. Otherwise they would be Irish! :-D Oh and mustard is the best. The brighter the yellow the better! :thumbsup:

                    my English sucks most days, and it is my first and only language. I only know a few dirty words in Spanish.(Mexican Spanish, not Spain or other countries)

                                I have heard of three of those, and use them rarely. But anyway, I wouldnt really call it an influence on English since its not gramatical its just word borrowing.
