Spanish term or phrase: el/la tragamonedas
Hola chicos:
Para la palabra ingles "slots" utilizo la española "tragamonedas" que vale para todos los países de habla hispana. Pero para no ocupar mucho espacio no digo "la máquina tragamonedas" sino "el tragamonedas" refiriendome al juego tragamonedas. El corrector me dice que tengo que poner "la tragamonedas" pq es una palabra femenina que es verdad pero en mi mente yo quiero decir el juego tragamonedas y lo acorto en "el tragamonedas". Mi pregunta es: ¿es incorrecto el uso del masculino aquí? Gracias.
