??Helio has W H A T?!?!?!?!? 4M in learning points?? Wow!??

?? That is a lot of 'estudiando' amigo!!??

You have managed to amass the vocabulary of the universe & remain a regular thread posting friend on the big dailies! Well done. May your Spanish continue to blossom so that your magnanimous word store will allow you to express all your wonderful thoughts & dominate another language with fluidity! ¡Qué lumbrera!

Take some well-deserved time to celebrate! Then onward to 5M!

Just to clear things up - 4M = 4 million!!!! Sorry about the mistake in typing, Helio! Wouldn't want to short you of your glorious millions - a tough reach that only few have grasped.

Beautiful job, Katy!! - rac1, Jun 26, 2014
A historic post! - 00ffada9, Jun 26, 2014
I think you mean 4M as in million not K as in thousand points - gringojrf, Jun 26, 2014
Great job katy...congratulations to you and Helio. - 007c5fc1, Jun 26, 2014
4k is nothing. Helio has 4M. - Raja-jani, Jun 26, 2014
Thanks 1Rajaji for catching that. :) - rac1, Jun 26, 2014
The M for K edit is instructive. If you don't already know - time how long it takes to do a thousand pts with flashcards. To go from K to M takes One Thousand times longer! - Esteban_317, Jun 26, 2014
Wow! Thanks, interesting info. :) - rac1, Jun 26, 2014
Thanks so much for the edit in, Rac. I was in a conference and didn't see that till now. Gracias a todos. - katydew, Jun 26, 2014

Uh oh....I should be thanking Gringo for that. Thanks amigo. :) - rac1, Jun 27, 2014

Congratulations legend

Darth Vadar

I Shall return with a dry tray !

Mate another post lauding your many achievements , I can tell you right off old son

I would not bother, except that you are a top bloke , albeit one that wears a tin suit

and runs around dispensing bon mots sprinkled with forceful anecdotes

in an asthmatic voice

The moment you stop being helpful , funny clever and entertaining you can

kiss me goodbye Lord Vadar , but I am impressed and a little in awe of you mate

and that is not because the threat to send me to Alpha Centauri , and go to bed

without the Penne arabiata.You are now was, and always will be a " Legend "

Well done on this achievement- it shows a true dedication to learning. Your work day after day to further your knowledge is impressive.

4,000,000 is a lot of learning points. And I suspect you have not hung up your hat yet.
