Or Hacker News for that matter. Never trust anything on the internet [1] on face value. Start by asking qui bono? Is this a reputable source, like a scientist[2]?. Be critical and sceptical.

How can I trust someone who can't use spell check?

	▲	morphle 2 days ago \| parent \| next [-]
		I used four spell checkers including Apple, Wikipedia and Google search. Don't trust anything you read on the internet, including your comment.

		I'm confused, in es-ar, it can be: * "El café está en la taza." [preferred] * "El café está sobre la taza." [I'd never use this.] * "El café está adentro de la taza." I'd probably use "en(in?)" for a cup, "sobre(over?)" for a plate an "adentro de (inside?)" for a jar.
