I’m really surprised that you have misunderstood everything in my post. I’m sure you can find more sensationalist headlines in other kind of blogs. Don’t desperate.

In Spanish “conform” tends to be transitive while in English it tends to non-. I’m sure this is completely unrelated to the fact that various Spanish political entities take it on themselves to finance and impose identity, while in England you can, if you want, pay a couple of quid to go and drink orange squash at a folk dance club on Monday night.

In my small enclave of castillian purity, the word ‘conformar’ refers to a thing you do with a pair of sheers once an olive sapling matures enough to be given its final and definitive shape. You might want to add that to your collection.
