A pesar de que su pagina es muy profesional y estetica, quisiera sugerirles un cambio: en vez de utilizar la palabra "registrarse" seria mas correcta "inscribirse". El cambio
pareceria poco importante pero en realidad tiene gran trasfondo: desde el adveniminto de medios masivos de comunicacion, Latinoamerica se ha visto sujeta a una enorme cantidad de informacion
proveniente de Estados Unidos (EEUU) la cual casi siempre incluye graves errores de traduccion. Esto ha fomentado el uso incorrecto de muchas palabras, y el uso de anglicismos. Como maestra de
espanol (en EEUU) me preocupa ver el deterioro que ha ocurrido en el uso correcto del idioma en el ultimo decenio. Contribuyamos a preservar nuestro idioma; por favor cambien en su esquina superior
izquierda la frase a "Inscribirse/Entrar". En nombre de las futuras generaciones de Latinoamericanos, GRACIAS.
