Bravo, Perikles.
(Chileno was just pulling your leg!)
The "enfrenten" point (we go back to our subjunctive favorite subject!) is not a typo. It is correct, although "enfrentan" (indicative) wouldn't be incorrect either.
Thank you for the metaphors and synonyms. I see that "canard" comes from French, literally, duck; in sense 1, from Middle French
vendre des canards à moitié to cheat, literally, to half-sell ducks First Known Use: 1851
También existe lo de "dar gato por liebre" (in the sense of 'cheating')
@Poli, te creo, en Cataluña se come "conejo al allioli" que está para chuparse los dedos. (Sobre todo si te gusta el ajo...)
@AlecCowan, gracias, no me sabía esa definición de "gazapo"... en España también se usa "gazapa" para "mentira, embuste".
I was thinking about something related which I forgot while I was answering everybody, but this "gazapo/typo" type of drill/exercise seems an interesting one thread-starter, as it helps to find any word or symbol not understood, which otherwise would be overlooked.
Ah, now I remembered, there are also the expressions, lapsus calami, lapsus linguae, defined by Moliner as follows,
Lapsus calami (pronunc. [lápsus cálami]). Equivocación cometida al correr de la pluma.
L. linguae (pronunc. [lápsus línguae] o [lápsus língüe]). Equivocación consistente en un simple cambio de palabras, sin haber confusión en el pensamiento.
The other thing is that "a real new" can also be "created" or "additional propaganda" done to it to serve some "vested interest" (See
Deception Point by Brown) (But now I start veering... as usual)
Related "aside".
Marciano que llama la puerta: (pronúnciese bien 'gangoso')
"Hola señora, vengo de Marte..."
Señora que abre la puerta: (pronúnciese más 'gangoso' todavía) "¿De marte de quién?"
