BTW, I thought it twice. Maybe I dreamt of it and changed my mind. You can make a difference if you like. There is a way of talking giving its proper sense to each word (good for writing!) and a more relaxed way for everyday speaking. Are you ready for both? Or you'd rather stay reassuranced? But I don't think it will be difficult to understand, as I guess it happens the same in English. I'll have to reread what Rusty wrote in the other thread (de / para). He's really intense... makes me dream of prepositions!

Oh, I can think of soooo many things to dream about! Prepositions are not in the top 100 of those things.

Some prepositions could get sad because of this, especially the most young ones. Time ago, I had a coffee with hasta preposition. She seemed to be worried about something. It took a while to know what was happening in her tiny inside. She was sad because nobody dreamt of her. I immediately kissed her, and we were quite happy for two weeks. One day, I woke up and she had gone. From that moment on, I'd rather go out with women...

You are so silly!

My favorite preposition is above.

Mine is under. But I also like behind.

I've been intrigued by some of the archaic Spanish prepositions such as so.

Thanks for your correction, David!

• Cabe la mercería de mi calle se encuentra un pequeño comercio regentado por la mamá del muchacho al que nos referíamos...
• No se blasfemará en domingo ni fiestas de guardar so pena de cárcel que habrá de cumplirse en ciudad distinta a la de la comisión del delito.

Todo esto es muy decimonónico...
