Point of order; at no time in history has the city today called Los Angeles
(or LA by locals) *EVER* been called la "cieudad" (sic) de Los
Angeles... The Spanish named it El Pueblo de Notra Dama de Los Angeles. Of
course that's an abbreviation of the whole Spanish name which translated
means the town of our lady of the angels along the little water. If you're
going to try and make an attack in Spanish you should at least attempt to
get the words correct and their spelling as well; LA was a town when it was
named LA and the word for city in Spanish is Ciudad not that bizarre thing
you scribbled. Spanish is the simplest most logical language humanity has
ever invented and if you can't get that right maybe you should stick to
English. At least then you'll mangle the words of your native tongue.
