You are argueing about the English translation of a Spanish word, done |
| 22 |
by someone that most probably isn't a certified translator. The word |
| 23 |
at issue (please excuse the pun) isn't "issues" but the Spanish |
| 24 |
word "temas" - and I doubt it can be described as a weasel-word in |
| 25 |
this context. |
