Snail letter?
Please, could you translate into Spanish "snail letter"? I have an idea, but I'm not sure. Thanks.

Al correo no electrónico ahora se llama 'snail mail', como ya te explicó chileno.
I've never heard anyone in the USA say 'snail letter'. |

That was what I was imaging. Another question related to that: do you compare slowness with a snail. I said this because we compare slowness to a tortoise:
Este autobús es más lento que una tortuga. |

Comparamos lentitud un los caracoles y con las jicoteas (tortugas).
At a snails pace significa muy lento.

Jicotea y morrocoyo son palabras para las tortugas de la tierra.
La tortugas (turtles) viven en o cerca del agua. Las jicoteas (tortoises) viven en la tierra. Son palabras caribeñas.
