Question- do you use
idem. in speech or only in writing, and is it an abbreviation of a Latin word or something?
Another thing very similar to this is when you use 2 vertical lines (or a quote mark) to indicate a repetition of the word from above it. Do you use this in Spanish?
Code:
Vegetable oil
Olive "
Canola "
Which would be the same as writing:
Vegetable oil
Olive oil
Canola oil
