Don Shelby shared several curiosities about Spanish on the occasion of the Day of Hispanity. He stated that the "ñ" arose from a medieval abbreviation and that it did not have an exact equivalent sound in other traditional alphabets. He also pointed out that Spanish used double question and exclamation marks, officially adopted by the Royal Spanish Academy in 1754 to anticipate the tone of sentences. Shelby indicated that "electroencephalographist," with 23 letters, was the longest official word, and that "e" was the most commonly used letter, followed by "a." He added that "e" appeared most frequently in *Don Quixote*, by Miguel de Cervantes. Lastly, he said he regretted that Spanish was not the universal language and considered it, by far, the most beautiful on the planet. #Hispanidad #IdiomaEspañol #Cultura (translated)

Abelardo De La Espriella said that he had inaugurated the Warsaw–El Delirio road in Sucre, a stretch of 3.2 kilometers that, he claimed, completed a strategic section of the Transversal of the Montes de María and improved the connection between Sincelejo and Toluviejo, the Route to the Sea, and the Gulf of Morrosquillo. He pointed out that more than $10.2 billion had been spent on the project and stated that it would facilitate the transport of crops, tourism, and commerce. He also claimed that, during his Government, the works would be completed and delivered on time, without undue cost overruns. He presented the project as part of progress that, as he wrote, should reach the territories. #Caminos #Desarrollo #Sucre (translated)
