I know that 'frijoles' means 'beans'. I was told, a long time ago, that 'chili' means 'beans' by my sixth grade Spanish teacher. He grew up in Cuba, which seemed appropriate since he is Cuban, and I never thought of questioning his knowledge of his native tongue. Maybe he mis- translated, maybe I misunderstood (along with the rest of the class). I'm sorry I posted that note. I did it impulsively, without checking my rusty memory of Spanish but I was only teasing the anti-beaners. Please direct further comments on this to Bernardo Garcia', wherever he is. learning to say 'faux pas' in Spanish, Ed Pawlak ihuxb!ewp
