Someone should spend some time and weight the scoring on the poll to the population of the countries. E.g. make Scotland win.

I hereby serve you the notice of my official protest.
Me and my one-post-per-year average are utterly offended that Portugal was not included.
Both of us (me and the average, we are a thing) will take further action to get Portugal on the map of the glamorous, celebrity-filled forum at mobileread.
The first of said actions is presented to you in the form of this post. Mind you, that this is not a trivial thing to be ignored. It is a great sacrifice in tribute to our fatherland (1). It will provoke a great strain (2) in our relationship, and may even prove to be the demise of it.

So, in the name of Love, and all that is sacred and good (3) do not let this sacrifice be in vain. Make Portugal's name appear in at least 5 replies.

(1) Funny thing about latin languages. Everything has got to have gender. So it can have sex, I suppose. So, our country is male. Not like our neighbor country Spain (Espanha) , that by having it's name ending with an "a", is and forever will be a female country. Now that would be a poll. Which countries are male, female, and so-and-so. By the way, Germany is a girl too, and so is France and England, although the UK is manly, and the USA is lots of male (notice the plural).

(2) The more I post, the less likely the average of one post per year is going to stand.

(3) Including but not limited to Port wine, presunto (prosciutto), Serra da Estrela cheese, broa (cornbread), friends and a guitar. And Super Bock. Let's not forget that one.

i like your style, portugal. (that's two already !! although i don't know whether it counts, since i don't actually live in or come from portugal, and in fact haven't ever been there although it is at the top of my list. i love portugese litterature. oh, and porto wine. i'm actually trying to provoke you into posting more by replying though.

If you joined in 2005 and that was your 7th post then you are averaging slightly more than two posts per year.

Perhaps you are too busy with the Lusiads [a Portugese epic] to do the maths.

does that count for three if it's the adjective form, or does it have to be the actual name of the country ?

ShortNCuddlyAm · 02-02-2009, 08:09 PM

If the adjective form counts, does saying I adore Portuguese custard tarts count?
