This book is probably the best take I’ve read on Spanglish, and funny too! http://www.amazon.com/Pardon-My-Spanglish-Guide-Speaking/dp/1594742138/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244577511&sr=8-1

I agree with your last paragraph.

Chica #1: “Vas a salir de work this afternoon?”
Chica #2: “Yes, me voy a las One.”

I use spanglish every once in a while..
There are people who just sound so ridiculous.. like Alex mentioned, when they disregard grammar rules in either language. or when its so over used, that at times you cannot understand what the person is saying.

I use to work for Day Labor Services in Austin, Texas and was often surprised by the Spanglish spoken by the workers who came Guatamala, Nicaruagua, and El Salvador. Words like “chili-ando” (chilling) and “parti-ando” (partying) use to crack me up.

Hay te watcho! :-)
