¿Cuántas estrellas hay en el cielo? (How many stars are in the sky?)
Cincuenta. (Fifty.)
Lies! There are so many more than fifty stars in the sky, I’ve counted at least sixty.
once again, Spanish words are tricky when you smash them together or pull them apart. Cincuenta may mean “fifty,” but sin cuenta…that means “countless.” I hope that you can see how important one letter can be in spelling.
