¡Cierto! Correction to my own sentence: Spiders are not insects. The latter have six feet, the former have eight. Las arañas no son insectos. Éstos/los últimos/estos últimos tienen seis patas; aquéllas/las otras/las primeras tienen ocho. Gracias, Hernán.

A related question, then, would be about the English word "respectively". Does it work the same way in Spanish with the word "respectivamente"?
For example: In France, Denmark and Russia, they speak French, Danish and Russian, respectively. En Francia, Dinamarca y Rusia, se habla Francés, Danés y Ruso, respectivamente. ¿Es correcto?

What do you want to mean with Ma'am?
I didn't understand your commentary

"Yes, Ma'am" is a more polite way of saying "yes". It would be like saying "Yes, señorita/señora".

In fact, "I got it" is one of the few times in English where you can drop the subject pronoun ... you can say "Got it!" and it is understood that "I got it." ..... and it sounds better, too.
