Confused words

[CrOtALiTo]

Exelentísima idea. I was waiting to reply here while I thought out the best way to do this, but I think we can start out with a sub-forum of the grammar forum. The sub-forum can be for "articles" about any confusing topic in English or Spanish-- grammar topics, confusing vocabulary topics, prepositions etc. I will get a sub-forum going here as soon as I can, but in the meanwhile, if you want, you can go ahead and create threads in the grammar forum and I can move them later. Thanks for the great suggestion!


David you going to create a sub-forums of the grammatic and others things, but I'd like to have an example of the topic of the forums, I mean meanwhile wait the creation of the sub-forum, I'd like to have a little explain of the it will has about it.

Falsos amigos, false cognates in English, are words which can be easily confused because they have a similar spelling but another meaning. For instance, the English word "actually" means "en realidad", but one can wrongly use it as "actualmente". I hope I'm able to explain it :)

False cognates can be considered as confused words, too. Or I think so. :)
