My last question:
How would you translate: A veces no puedo parar de reir con los chistes de Buenafuente? Sometimes I can �t help laughing non-stop at Buenafuente �s jokes ??
Thanks

Sometimes, I can not stop laughing at Buenafuente �s jokes?
or sometimes, I can �t help laughing at Buenafuente �s jokes?
because "can �t help" already means "can �t stop" or as u put it "non-stop" |

No, these two sentences have different meanings. "I can �t stop laughing" means that you start laughing and you continue to laugh. "I can �t help laughing" means that it is impossible for you not to laugh. There is no implication about the ability to stop laughing once you start. Bruce |
