For those of you who are dorks about linguistic differences I'd like to quickly describe an advertisement that literally could not work in English.
On the left side is the image of a good looking man in stylish clothing. Superimposed over this image are three words:
"La" actitud
"La" Campera
"Las" Gafas
And then on the right side is an image of a perfume bottle, the only text accompanying it:
"El" perfume
So subtle and completely untranslatable...
Those of you who speak romance languages explain it to your friends.
