 comment Usar puntuación extra para expresar incredulidad
Personalmente pienso que, de los dos casos expuestos con signos mixtos, es más útil abrir un signo de exclamación y cerrar un signo de interrogación. La razón es que la entonación del español indica interrogación hacia el final de la frase.

 comment Rules of style for Spanish
It took me a while to write this comment because I actually read it all before commenting. I think it does not fulfill my expectations, although it gets close. It does cover usage of proper grammatics (only for journalism) and it does cover common error and usage of symbols. However, that is a minor element in the rest of the context, and I think that is the main point I want to see extended and with full detail.

 comment Usage of plural in collective objects?
+1 for citing sources. If there's no extra answer or comment that disproves this in some way soon, this is likely to become the actual accepted answer.

 comment Why does “toalla” sound like “tualla”?
Isn't the case for Oaxaca quite special? I think the actual pronunciation for that one comes from Nahuatl.

 comment What's the meaning of “Y yo voy y me lo creo”?
I actually heard it a lot too in Argentina. I guess it depends on the region, maybe?

 comment Origin of the name “Jesucristo”
I cannot validate, but this does really sound feasible. The difference between the two *S*s is really the phonetic emphasis they get because of their position in the word. Sadly, I cannot come up with any other examples right now. I will ask a language expert and see what she has to tell me on this later.

 answered When should I use the word 'yo' in a sentence where the verb conjugation already shows that I am the subject?
