I didn't put any remark - I resisted the temptation and pretended to have written one.

Creo que la segunda es para maderas más grandes y más difíciles de cortar. Nosotros cortábamos una madera muy finita, de chapa, como la que se pone detrás de los armarios. ¿Te imaginas una clase con niños de 10 ó 12 años con una sierra de calar?

Definitivamente para niños una sierra eléctrica no va.

Also you can separate the words Vaiven in Va y ven.

That's another way use that.

No, I'm from the United States. There's no way I could mix up "saw" and "sore". Well, if I was from Boston, maybe. But nope, I'm from upstate NY..........

Seesaw is one of my favourite words in English... and it's difficult to translate:you can say columpio (but then it would be the same as swing) or maybe balancín.

Really? Spanish doesn't have a name for a seesaw? Do they not have seesaws in Spanish playgrounds? Hmmm.....

Exactly that, Irmamar. You call it balancín then?

Pues no sé cómo se llama, creo que balancín (la imagen la busqué con la palabra "balancín"). Como no me ha gustado nunca mucho, no le he dado importancia. Me gustaban más el tobogán y los columpios.
