what is "digitacion"?

Post by Captain Sousie »

Just wondering what "digitacion" is. Apparently this one is good at it. It is also "Sharpened very well"...is that a good thing?

Perhaps it supplies prestidigitacion for fast passages... after all, it has 'perfect machinery'.
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Digitacion is the Spanish word for fingering. Apparently the fractured Euro-English one too. John

That's correct about digitacion. It means fingering, but it can also mean "toeing." The word for finger, dedo, is also the word for toe.

Bill puts his Spanish knowledge to work, even where people don't speak it!
