OBS

orador; speaker: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la voz inglesa "speaker" es un anglicismo innecesario que es preferible sustituir por alternativas españolas como "portavoz" o "vocero", de un partido político, por ejemplo; "ponente" o "conferenciante"; o "interlocutor", "orador", "presentador", "animador" o "locutor", en la prensa deportiva.
