I am a researcher at Incipit, where I read, write, think, have coffee and also write code every now and then.

I have extensive experience in method engineering, software methodologies, conceptual modelling, software development techniques, technical writing and project management.

I'm also a partner in two businesses where we develop large software applications and services, and I participate in standardisation projects with ISO and AENOR.

You can also find me on LinkedIn and I keep a couple of blogs.

comment “Fall in love with” (non-romantic)
@Brian: I strongly disagree; Spanish also has a rich and subtle vocabulary in this semantic field. In fact, I can find a number of ways to translate "cute" into Spanish without recurring to diminutive suffixes. "Mono" is probably be the most usual translation in the region of Spain where I live.

Never heard alistarse with that sense. Alistarse in Spain means enrol, like in "alistarse en la marina".

comment Are there any words in Spanish that are very difficult to translate to English?
@hippietrail: No. Kitsch id usted in Spanish too, but that's something else. Kitsch is ugly and pretentious but not necessarily sweet to the extreme, which cursi always is.

comment Latinoamérica, Hispanoamérica, or Sudamérica?
Good answer. I'd add some examples. Sudamérica includes Argentina, Brazil and Suriname, but not Mexico. Latinoamérica includes Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, but not Suriname. Hispanoamérica includes Mexico and Argentina but not Brazil or Suriname.
