Correctness of comment guidance in Spanish
2
votes
I just switched the language interface of the website to Spanish and noticed that the little gray text about adding comments to answers reads as follows:
Los comentarios son para añadir observaciónes cortos a una consulta.
La observación is feminine, and the -es adds an extra syllable to the end of the word, making the accent naturally fall on the on of observaciones. So shouldn't it be observaciones cortas, where cortas is spelled with an A and observaciones has no written accent mark?

Hawkeye, but where do you find this grey text? My page is in Spanish and I can't find the note. - 0074b507, Jun 2, 2010
Thanks. The epithet that usually comes up after I mention such things is 'nitpicker'. I like 'Hawkeye' better. :) - MacFadden, Jun 2, 2010
It's just above the gray box of comments. Right above where you've written 'Hawkeye', it says COMENTARIOS and then the passage in question. - MacFadden, Jun 2, 2010
Do you see it? - MacFadden, Jun 3, 2010
Yes, it's not visible until a comment has been left, that's why I couldn't find it. - 0074b507, Jun 3, 2010
Excellent observation...hopefully, this post will be seen and the text corrected. - --Mariana--, Jun 3, 2010
