me gusta: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, explica que la locución nominal "me gusta" se escribe en dos palabras, con "me" en minúscula y que su plural es invariable ("muchos me gusta"). Por otra parte, aunque no es imprescindible marcar "me gusta" con resalte alguno, si se considera que de este modo se favorece la comprensión del texto por parte del lector, siempre es posible destacar esta expresión con comillas. 2, record 1, Spanish, - me%20gusta

En países donde se usa el pronombre "vos" para la segunda persona del singular, como es el caso de Argentina, el imperativo se conjuga como "haceme" o "hacenos". Al agregarse el pronombre enclítico a "hacé", la palabra aguda se transforma en grave y pierde la tilde. 2, record 2, Spanish, - hacer%20un%20me%20gusta%20en
