| Nov 15, 2022 at 12:14 | comment | added | Walter Mitty | In addition to the issues you raise, there is the issue of "por qué" versus "para qué". This is a distinction that is not carefully made by English speakers. It's the distinction between cause and purpose. Unintended ambiguity in English between these two results in much missed communication. | |
