You know you're out of control when they give you that "you can't post but every 30 thirty seconds" warning message.:spin:

Just to make sure I recalled that right, I grew up speaking spanish, I cross checked it at:
http://www.diccionarios.com/index.p...iccionario=dgle

(one of the better free sites for castillian spanish to english, french, or catalan).

EDIT:
However, the more I look the more it appears that the word, when looked up in the Spanish to English dictionaries, comes up as "red". So, there is something to the original statement. I am pretty certain that in normal conversation one would not refer to things that are red as "colorado/a".
