Abstract
Having been involved in English-Spanish translation for more then fifty years, I was appalled by an article on Computer Spanglish that appeared in the Austin American-Statesman on August 30, 1995. The article, by Lori Hawkins, features the work of Yolanda M. Rivas, a graduate student at the College of Communication, University of Texas at Austin, who as part of a semester project opened a World Wide Web site on the Internet, where she not only expounds on the use of Spanglish by the 'Latino world' (a rather large claim), but also disseminates on an ongoing basis a Glossary of Spanglish. Along with English and Spanglish terms, the glossary includes standard Spanish equivalents, which she often deprecates as difficult or impractical to use.
