Speakers often hesitate when trying to use the Spanish language correctly. Do proper names have a fixed spelling? Do we say overtime or extra hours? Do nicknames go in quotation marks? Does Islamist mean the same as Islam? Can you use @ to refer to two genders at the same time? Structured in the form of a question and answer, the 500 most frequent questions in Spanish addresses a wide range of topics: the new norms of accentuation, punctuation signs, abbreviations, the concordance in the sentence, the use of the prepositions, the errors in meaning. The work provides abundant examples along with explanations of the causes of the errors.
