Jan 4	comment	Proper spelling of “beisbol” +1 I agree, the proper spelling is `béisbol` (check RAE) but as shown on the Oxford's Spanish Dictionary link on Richard's answer, in Mexico, both forms are accepted. My guess is that it has to do with the Mexican accent: They pronounce `béisbol` as `beisbol`.
Dec 30	comment	Do compounds exist in Spanish which are not nouns or are nouns other than than of the form (3ps verb + pl noun)? +1 Indeed, nice word!
Dec 30	comment	Names of mythical beings/creatures +1 Excellent job. I could have not translated many of those to Spanish.
Dec 30	comment	Literal and metaphorical translation of “duende” +1 Now I know that `duende` was also used to signify a feeling. Until now, I had never heard the word used in a different context other than the mythical creature.
Dec 29	comment	reserva vs. reservación In Colombia both forms are used.

Dec 28	comment	Different words for “beer” @Javi: You should post your comment as an answer.
Dec 28	answered	Different words for “beer”
Dec 28	comment	Best English translation of “conmoción” I would agree with @Laura's comment except that it should be `conmoción cerebral`. `Conmoción` alone means `shock`
Dec 27	answered	Jumping between pronunciations of “y” in Spanish songs
Dec 27	comment	Most common translation of “Happy New Year!” @hippietrail If I want to wish you both, happiness and prosperity on the coming year, how should I phrase it?
Dec 27	comment	caja vs. cajón vs. estuche yes, it is. I mentioned it just because RAE makes that distinction about the definition of Cajón and I don't know whether in Spain is also common to use cajón as a synonym for ataúd (coffin). I don't think box can be used to refer to a coffin in English, but I am not sure either. I've never been to a funeral or spoken about funerals with a native English speaker. Perhaps someone reading this can tell me.

Dec 27	accepted	“Septiembre” or “setiembre”?
Dec 27	comment	“Septiembre” or “setiembre”? I will accept this as the answer since you were the first one to offer an explanation in your comment to the question.
Dec 27	comment	“Septiembre” or “setiembre”? I've been hearing "setiembre" for as long as I can remember on Peruvian TV. I sort of even recall reading a Mario Vargas Llosa article in El País using it as well. Jaime Baily -a well known TV figure and (mediocre) writer- definitely uses it. I wonder when RAE will start accepting "dotor" (doctor), "helicótero"(helicóptero), etc. which is rather common amongst people with low scholarity. "Haiga" -instead of haya- and "encandelillar" -instead of encandilar- are apparently also accepted.
Dec 27	comment	caja vs. cajón vs. estuche In some countries in Latin America, Cajón could also be used as Coffin.
Dec 27	comment	“vaso de agua” or “vaso con agua”? Which is correct? I would always use "vaso de agua". "Vaso con agua" is a typical case of hipercorrección (forodeespanol.com/Archive/Hipercorreccion/bwhl/post.htm) and it sounds ridiculous when someone uses it.
