    Just thought I'd blip in here, but yes. The letter h is used, but is completely silent all the time to the point it might as well not be there. Whereas the J in the language makes the more "h" sound English speakers are used to ("jajaja" instead of "hahaha").

    The two examples you just used are examples of when the letter H is indeed silent.

    Those examples are indeed silent.....
    The only thing that can defeat power is more power. That is the one constant in this universe. However, there is no point in power if it consumes itself.

    I still would really like to see why a Policia is in Tall Oaks.

    EDIT: Just to be clear, Vito, I'm not calling you a horse(or "caballo" in Spanish), I'm just saying, you're from Mexico so you probably know the language better than I do.

    That scene could have been taken from when Leon is in Europe, though. Aren't all three stories supposed to converge there?

    I studied spanish for 5 years from someone who was born and raised in Spain, I passed GCSE in Spanish with an A. For 5 years she debunked the myth that H is silent, claiming it is just very soft and the belief it is silent so widespread that some people actually want it deleted from words especially thanks to other regions versions of the langauge. Every student she taught like that and I as well as others used it in vocal exams and passed highly. She was very on the ball with different regions habits creeping in and making sure they were not used, example cinco in Spain is pronocuned thin-ko, in other regions like mexico it is sin-ko. Unless there has been some shake up in the last twelve years that I missed I'm going to believe what I was taught and passed with.

    My initial comment was a joke, but I see it struck a nerve.

    There you have it, you are talking about Spanish from Spain ("Castellano") and im talking about Spanish from Mexico ("Espanol Latino").

    I guess theres a difference.

    How can they steal an idea from something they already own? O.o

    Or, like I said, it's taken from the Europe portion of Leon's campaign.

    I'm gonna be a little offtopic for a bit. The 'H' letter in Spanish is mute. Only some regions of Spain still use a very soft 'J' instead of the 'H', those that make use of the Atlantic Norm. The only other exceptions are foreign words introduced into the Spanish language, as 'Hámster' which is said 'Jámster' -with a very soft 'J'. In every other country that makes use of the Romance language, the 'H' is mute -except for the Romanian.

    Should have said at least A-level standard, would have added more weight to your arguement. GCSE level just doesn't cut it.

    For example, I got a B in A-level English Language. It's not an A, but it's better than any GCSE.

    Really? Where is it? I don't feel like over-analyzing that trailer again

    I do not bullshit though.

    Apparently the RE6 demo goes for public release on September 20th, so PS3 Dragon's Dogma buyers get it a whopping 2 and half weeks early!
