Meanings of "mezcladora"

[Tomisimo]

I would like to gather all the meanings of "mezcladora" in the Spanish of different countries.

I'll start off with a few that I know:

mezcladora = faucet (to mix hot & cold water) (Mexico)
mezcladora = concrete mixer (Mexico)
mezcladora (batidora) = mixer (kitchen)
mezcladora (consola de sonido) = mixer (sound system)

are there any more meanings that you know of?

[chileno]

La palabra es mezcladora.

En Chile la única que no se usa es la que define faucet.

[pjt33]

Es "mezcladora" con zeta. En cuanto a los sistemas de audio, oigo más "mezclador" que "mezcladora".

I don't know how mainstream that usage is, but that is what I was told more than once in Mexican ferreterías.

David! Using Spanglish?

Debe ser una diferencia entre el español de España y el de México entonces, ya que yo he oído más "mezcladora".

Correcto. Y debiéramos hacer un poco más de hincapié en las diferencias, para que los que aprenden lo tengan en cuenta.

Cuando contestamos, debiéramos ser menos categóricos en insistir en que algo está mal dicho, especialmente si la diferencia es continental.

Pienso..... (¿lo hago?)

Sometimes Spanglish is the only way to go. For example, I honestly can't think of a good translation for "papelería" — paper store? stationary store? stationers? school supplies store?

I know it is difficult. You do not have to remind me...

I would use Stationery Store for it.

I know you just suffered from a "lapsus fingerious" or something like that... but reminded me of a girl who taught me.

Stationary = Stand

Stationery = Paper

I arrived in this country on 6-18-1979 and what I am relating happened that Christmas. :-)

I tend to suffer from the same type of lapsus...

That reminds me of how I remember the difference between principle and principal. A principal is your pal.

En España, en la cocina: batidora. Y los alimentos se baten con la batidora (para mezclar usas las manos o una cuchara)

Para el sonido: mesa de mezclas

That's a good one! Although I never had a problem with those words.

Difficult words to remember their meaning and their usage.

Lie, lay, set, loose, lose.
