Apr 12	answered	“Earthquake”: When to use “temblor” and “terremoto”
Mar 28	comment	What is the meaning of the phrase “¿Cómo ves?”? In Colombia we say `¿Cómo lo ves?` as in `What do you think?/What's your opinion/Qué te parece?`, etc. Sometimes this expression is purely rhetorical and sometimes you are actually expecting an answer; depending on the situation. `Javi es un descarado, se fue a la casa de mi mamá con sus amigotes y desordenaron todo, ah, ¿cómo lo ves?` -> In this context, you are just expressing your indignation and not necessarily expecting a comment or answer from the other party. `El candidato para el puesto de redacción me pareció muy bueno. ¿Cómo lo ves? (tú)` -> Here you are requesting an opinion.

Mar 21	comment	What exactly are “mis rasgos”? @Laura correct, when one mentions `rasgos físicos` usually starts listing facial features but not because it's exclusive to the face, but rather because facial features are more prominent. Height, weight, etc. are also `rasgos físicos`.

Mar 20	comment	How do you describe a slight right/left turn (bearing left or right)? @Javi good suggestion (`gira ligeramente....`) will add it to my answer. As for the `pequeña izquierda` it's probably regional, then. I think it's easy to understand that you mean a `little turn to the left/right`

Mar 18	accepted	Condescendiente / Condescendant
Mar 18	comment	Condescendiente / Condescendant Great links. It explains everything, I think. Thanks.
Mar 17	comment	Condescendiente / Condescendant @PeterTaylor Accommodating sounds more appropriate. Condescending, clearly, is not an accurate translation unless Oxford shows a different definition from what Wikitionary shows. Add your comment as an answer. I will upvote now and accept later if no one else can come up with an answer to my first question.

Mar 15	answered	Best way to translate 'uneducated', meaning lacking formal schooling
Mar 15	comment	Best way to translate 'uneducated', meaning lacking formal schooling I disagree with both of you; with Javi, because `iletrado` is a very common word, and with Tomas, because `iletrado` is not an appropriate word to refer to someone that lacks formal schooling, which is what the question is about. I would even argue that calling someone `iletrado`, unless you are referring to a person that can't read and write, is a very rude word to use. For example: `Eres un iletrado` is just as rude as calling someone ignorant: `Eres un ignorante`. The author of this blog: gazapping.blogspot.com never finished grammar school and you couldn't call him `iletrado`
Mar 14	comment	How to respond to ¿Cómo estás? Another one: Será decirte que regular para no preocuparte.

Mar 12	comment	Plug vs Socket: Interchangeable? @Javi, Dusan, you guys are correct. I've heard people using enchufe to refer to a toma corriente. I will amend my answer.
