esclerosis lateral amiotrófica: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la sigla ELA (de esclerosis lateral amiotrófica) concuerda en femenino con el artículo: la ELA. [...] Dado que el género de la sigla es el de la palabra principal que la compone, lo adecuado en este caso es emplear el artículo la, al ser esclerosis un término femenino. Además, se recuerda que la sigla se escribe en mayúsculas (ELA), pero si se opta por emplear el desarrollo de esta (esclerosis lateral amiotrófica) lo apropiado es escribirlo con minúsculas por ser un nombre común [...] tal como señala la Ortografía de la lengua española. 3, record 1, Spanish, - esclerosis%20lateral%20amiotr%C3%B3fica

An alternative to chalk. Resin (or "pine tree resin" to use its full name) is made from the yucky stuff that sticks to your hands when you touch a pine tree.

Resin can do permanent damage to the rock and in fact is not allowed anywhere in the US for that reason. 2, record 3, English, - resin
