Editor,
In Dec. 3 Daily Lobo, Jay Campbell complained about “Fiesta” being misspelled.
This is just a glimpse at a greater problem. For example, the street and housing development Loma Colorado lacks gender agreement between the noun and the adjective. It should be Loma Colorada. Another example is balota (in Spanish) for ballot (in English).
In current Spanish, the proper word should be boleta. Balota refers to a special ball used primarily in Italy for voting. I sympathize with newspaper editors who must publish under a deadline. However, for official publications, errors in street names and monuments should not be present.
