When you have separated bookmarks for every language in your IE/firefox
Even having them separated on every language you need to scroll them down because there is so many of them that screen is always too small to see them all 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

When the scenes you most look forward to in the TV series "Dexter" are when Lt. Laguerta and Sgt. Batista exchange a few sexy phrases in Spanish, or even better, when the episode ends up in the heart of Miami's Cuban community and you get to hear lots of Spanglish!
