Dec 12	revised	Difference between “tener que …” and “necesitar …”? Corrected blockquotes and added translation
Dec 11	revised	Is there a connection between “cuchillo” and “cuchara”? added 47 characters in body
Dec 10	comment	Why “buenas noches” when it's only one night? @e-MEE It's not really the same, I think... But answering your comment, I found this: worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-pai1.htm

Dec 9	comment	I forgot how to say “I forgot” +1 for the question title. :)
Dec 9	comment	When to use 'o' and 'ó' @Laura I see :)
Dec 9	comment	When to use 'o' and 'ó' +1 I didn't know about the distinction "number 0" VS "letter o"... So if now we don't distinguish them anymore, how do you know if it's a O or a zero? Apart from the shape and the diagonal line inside the number 0...
Dec 9	awarded	Enlightened
Dec 8	comment	Tanto X como Y - ¿importa el orden? Actually I see tanto...como... more like this: as much/(adjective/adverb here) as... But I see the "both" translation works too...
