HoustonChronicle.com - Spanglish is linguistic equivalent of Tex-Mex

The evolution of language is so interesting. My favourite is "watchate!"

This is scarily similar to "Papi Jack's" (my grandmother's sixth husband, who was israeli, who was also a scary lecher) weird dialect. Which was a weird attempt at spanish which was just the additon of certain letters or endings to the words of his broken english and a spanish word here or there. Por ejemplo: Asking the maids to making him scrambled eggs: "Scramblear los eggos porfavor."
