There’s now an easy way for you to leave me audio feedback.
Just click on the “MyChingo, Leave a message” image link in the right-hand sidebar of this page. You can leave an audio comment up to two minutes in length, and I’ll be sure to play it.
Note: no offense meant to our Spanish-speaking, and specifically Mexican, audience, for whom the word chingo is anything but “chat lingo.” I do like this easy-to-use (and free!) service, and am willing to give it a test drive for a while, in spite of its intercultural red flag.

I’ve had some good e-mail back-and-forths with “MyChingo” devleoper Michael Bailey. He isn’t a Spanish speaker and didn’t have any idea what “chingo” meant. That said, he’s now heard the concerns of many, who have kindly suggested he ditch the “chingo” (message to code-switchers: you might want to skip over that last sentence). Michael tells me that the service will be relaunched with a new-and-improved name within the next week. And from what I can gather, it’s a clean one!
