BURLINGTON, Vt., Feb. 10 (UPI) -- A massive study of the emotional connotations of the world's most commonly used words reveals that humans prefer the expression of positivity and joy over sadness and cynicism.
The study, carried out by researchers at the University of Vermont's Computational Story Lab, located the 100,000 of the most frequently used words -- uttered and written on Twitter and TV, in song lyrics, the New York Times and movie titles -- across the world's 10 most popular languages.

According to the average ignorant bigoted American, all Spanish speakers are from some poor village in Mexico who did not finish high school

So, since you're an "ArabicHabibi" should we just call you a terrorist? Doesn't that sound ignorant and bigoted? Just like your remarks sound.

ah your exposure to Spanish speakers resumes to impoverished immigrants from mexican villages and so on into north America....
and in your tiny brain you link that to people who speak spanish in over 30 countries regardless of their individual cultures, origins or levels of education!!
HAHAHAHAHAH you're quite intelligent and well travelled aren't you?
that'd be like me saying english speakers all over the planet are inbred trailer trash because I watch Jerry springer!!
Ever heard of Picasso? el Greco? Velasquez? Goya? Gabriel Garcia Marquez? PROBABLY NOT!!!
do me a favor and STOP you're making yourself look like an idiot!
By the way, the most ghetto language in the world is ENGLISH.... it's in english speaking cultures where acting ghetto, loud, harsh and fighting each other like you're on a reality TV show it's encouraged... in spanish speaking countries CLASS is encouraged and those who lack it are sent to north America where they can fit in with all the walmarts and big trucks and yehaa kinda people!
