Actually, the el ella form also includes usted meaning you (formal). So when somebody conjugates an AR verb in the el ella usted form it can mean one of the following:

Does he speak Spanish?

Does she speak Spanish?

Do you speak Spanish? tu (hablas) is an informal way of saying you.

Scooter is not saying he/she. He's just being polite.

@ByzantineStandard Yes there could be.

@luigi90900 Couldn't there be an implied Usted? When speaking formally or without prior relationship, one would use ¿Habla Ud. Español?

@sterndmb Were you disappointed when you found out they weren't released until recently?

But back in the day BASIC was the first computer language kids could learn I did so on my Atari 400! I was the voice of scooter computer.. Darrell Stern

Sadly, almost no computers these days actually use BASIC, at least not on a level accessible by the user. Fortunately, archaic text-based interface has been replaced with operating systems like Windows or Linux. BASIC is pretty fun to fool with, though, and gives a (pardon the pun) basic understanding of programming languages to people who are new to the field.

I remember learning BASIC on a Radio Shack TRS-80...I feel old.

Scooter said: "¿Habla Español?" wich literally translates to "Does he/she talk spanish? not "¿Hablas Español?" wich means "Do you talk spanish."

The reason being, that to conjugate the Verb, Hablar, to say you you conjugate it as an -AS ending for he/she, you conjugate it as just an -A.
