Again thanks a lot for everything! i didn´t want to annoy anybody, it was very urgent (it is a 40-page assignment), and in my city it has been impossible to find certain specific words by no means. The problem of writing the questions from English to English is due to 2 reasons: lack of time, and specially because it was my first time here and I didn´t know how this system works. THANKS!
