About TRP's spanish, the only doubt I have is about the song the
Argentinians sing in the submarine:
"Aqui me pongo a cantar
al compas de la viguela,
que el hombre que lo desvela
una pena estrordinaria,
como la ave solitaria
con el cantar se consuela."
(I don't remember the page number -- I don't have the text
with me)
The word "estrordinaria" doesn't exist in spanish, the correct spelling
being "extraordinaria". And the word "ave" is masculine, so it should
have been "EL ave". I am from Spain, though, and maybe in Argentina it is
different.
