We posted an article on that topic a few months ago, with several examples. You can search for the article called "Gorra o gorro?", or look at the December 2008 archive. You are right.

I hope to pick up bits and pieces every time to improve my little knowledge of Spanish. I would like to make a remark re Spanish Articles about the 'to be expected' gender. I think one has to be careful as some articles can be 'el' or 'la' depending on there meaning! E.g. la radio = the radio however el radio = the radius or spoke even in South America the radio is EL radio el cometa = comet la cometa = kite I presume these are not the only ones. I hope this is a help. Joop Recently I joined the blog and I have to say I enjoy it. I hope to pick up bits and pieces every time to improve my little knowledge of Spanish.
