As long as individuals are compelled to rent themselves on the market to those who are willing to hire them, as long as their role in production is simply that of ancillary tools, then there are striking elements of coercion and oppression that make talk of democracy very limited, if even meaningful.   Noam Chomsky

no porto in a stormo

so, look, i'm not saying the Guardian is poorly subbed, but do your antennae not twitch at a claim that Portuguese may omit the letter "p"?

so it will be Ortugal, right?

of course, what they mean is that "p" may be dropped from words such as optimo, which is spelled without the "p" in Brazilian Portuguese. It's pronounced in both versions as written in Brazil.
