	Learning Spanish Support Apolyton

As it seems there are some people around here learning Spanish I've thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of common mistakes about our language:

finito is not Spanish, it's Italian.
desperado doesn't exist, the right one is desesperado.
ñ is an extra letter we have, different from n,
check this to see how important is to not to mix them up:
c o n o=c o n e
c o ñ o=c u n t
(alt+164, alt+165)

I bet JB knows some more...

Hmm, interesting.

The Greek equivelent to them would be:

Cone: Konos
We will skip Waku's second example.

Year: Etos, or Chronos
As shole: Gaidaros Trypa

Still working on sentance structure, as far as writing it goes.
