The correct expression is "estoy afligido"
Never mind, figured it out.... right click, languages and Spanish... it does the trick. The same thing to switch back to English. If you have a easier way, let me know please.
Hey man I just downloaded the Spanish dictionary but it still tells me that it's wrong if I write in Spanish.... how do you activate it'
I received that word this morning meaning heartbroken, so I looked it up in Oxford.
One meaning is grief-stricken, so I guess you could take that as heartbroken.
It's more like bereaved or distressed.
Does this means something like not feeling so well or maybe down with a serious disease. or something or anything in between'
I use Firefox, and it underlines all the spanish words.
Yes, because the spell checker is only for English. But it is very helpful at checking English spelling.
It will take you a thousand years to add all the Spanish words to your file. Just go to the following site and use the add-on for Spanish.
I use Firefox, and it underlines all the spanish words. It let's me know to capitalize Spanish. I didn't underline the first word spanish, (nor this one), on this page. How do they it come out when published?
I've been adding the Spanish words to the dictionary. I don't know where that dictionary is. I suppose a huge data file somewhere on my harddrive.

You were going to let me know when you got back.
I didn't realize that. Then I recommend that you all get Firefox, since it is VERY convenient to have this built-in spell checker.
Not really, Sally....have yo had a look at all the definitions?
When I hear afligido...I think of "desolate, distressed..." have a look in our dict.
Not on explorer, James. I use a corrector.....terrible typing.....
My question on the word of the day concerns the translation. I have never heard afligido used in the context of heartbroken. My translation of afligido is worried.
Any comments'
Very interesting. Is this true for others? When I click on Reply to This, I get a pale yellow box to type in. When I type a misspelled word, such as wrod, the word is immediately underlined in red.
How about other people? I'm using Firefox for my browser, in case that makes a difference.
i'm sorry my words are spelled wrong it's not my first language and i type so fast i skip letters but no it does not come up on my browser i misspelled them.
