The ditto thing
I recieved this, from a lady:
... And I'm glad you don't know [what the ditto thing is]. That means I don't have to be awfully embarrassed any more. Pls, what's the ditto thing? Thanks a lot for your help

Lots of ladies writing to you, Alfonso...Have you checked the Beautiful words thread? In the film Ghost the guy said ditto to his girlfriend not to have to answer I love you, because that embarrassed him. But I'm sure the lady who wrote to you was just kidding...
Esto es lo que se llama tirar piedras contra el tejado de uno...

Thanks a lot, David, for your information.
Iris... Pls, behave yourself. That lady is not anymore the epitome of innocence. I think she never was. ![]()

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 " Vegetable oil Olive oil Canola oil
