I thought about that. I'm not a native speaker and have about zero experience with Spanish baby-talk, but it seems like the infinitive wouldn't show up that much there, unlike in English where the infinitive shares the same form as one of the finite ones...? Also, "NO QUERER" looks to me like an admonishment instructing the reader not to want, rather than a statement that the writer doesn't want. -- Mark J. Reed <markjreed@...>
