Nov 22	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on Was the word “bomb” only used as slang in Chile and only in the '80s?
Nov 22	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on Are there any true nouns containing a hyphen in the Spanish language?
Nov 22	comment	Age range of niño, chico, muchacho, joven, etc Where I am in Mexico, joven seems to be often used very much like señorita. That is to say, it is often used to refer to an unmarried man, of practically any age, or when the marital status of a man younger than, say, mid-40s, is unknown.
Nov 22	comment	Why is the “X” in México and Texas pronunced as the letter “J”? @Richard: It's a paraphrase of the text used in my Spanish class here in Guadalajara. A paraphrase, because I no longer have the original text book, but I have my notes. :)

Nov 20	accepted	Any difference between aquí and acá
Nov 20	awarded	Nice Question
Nov 20	asked	When to use “igual” and “lo mismo”?
Nov 20	revised	When is “Te quiero” used to mean “I love you?”" edited body
Nov 18	revised	Rendering of “to fear”? Improve formatting
Nov 18	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on When should I use the word 'yo' in a sentence where the verb conjugation already shows that I am the subject?
Nov 18	revised	Does indirect speech in Spanish require changes in tense, mood, etc? Improve grammar/punctuation
Nov 18	comment	Is there a standard, most common, or most neutral Spanish term for “chat room”? @vartec: "messenger" usually means a one-on-one conversation, not a chat room; at least in English, and in Mexican Spanish... is it understood differently in Spain?
Nov 18	answered	Is/Was there a Basic Spanish?
Nov 18	comment	Suffixes used to transform an adjective into a noun It is... but I've also asked the moderators to make it community wiki, same as the question I copied from EL&U. (The fact that they haven't yet probably means they have some reason not to want to... shrug). I asked that question in part to test the waters here... if you think it's inappropriate, you ought to VtC :)
Nov 18	comment	Suffixes used to transform an adjective into a noun Hauser: I don't think the comments are the appropriate place for a long discussion on the purpose of SE sites. It has been hashed out thuroughly many times, but if you think it needs additional discussion for this new site, I'd encourage a meta post.
Nov 18	comment	Suffixes used to transform an adjective into a noun Only a single answer can be "accepted" as correct. And you are right, there are many "list answers" on SE, but most of the ones that are still open are left for historical reasons.
Nov 18	comment	Why are certain words ending in “a” masculine? @vartec: Are women heavier drinkers in Slavic-speaking regions than in Latin-speaking ones? ;)
Nov 18	comment	Is there a standard, most common, or most neutral Spanish term for “chat room”? I've heard chatear most often used to describe online chatting. If I tell someone estoy platicando, they ask ¿por teléfono, o en linea? But if I say estoy chateando, they know immediately. But I would guess that chatear is a Spanglish word, and likely most common in Mexico.
Nov 18	comment	Suffixes used to transform an adjective into a noun There are two problems with a list-question of this type, and neither is that the list would be infinitely long. 1) It solicits multiple corret/partial answers, making it impossible to choose the "correct" one. 2) As a reference material for future visitors, it makes finding the specific info they need harder, because they'll have to dig through the entire question. Having said that, your recent edit narrows the scope significantly, and thus makes it a better questions.
