I don't understand "this is worth pursuing". "Vale la pena continuar", maybe?

Thanks, Bob. So, a hundred.

How would you say "cientos de veces"?

By the way, no eres un bobalicón

Sí, no hay muchas palabras con "bob" (o no se me ocurren ahora ): embobado, bobina, rebobinar.

Thanks (I knew it, but I couldn't remember).

Yes. In my haste to answer I didn't change the "one" for the "a".

"Quiero decir que la pregunta normalmente está en futuro (mañana o el próximo jueves, etc.), pero hay veces que parece que estén en presente (...), los tiempos del presente en interrogativas/imperativas. No sé si vale la pena seguir."

Did I understand?
