peer agreement (net): +9(the car) overheated Explanation: + -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2006-02-17 18:22:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It wouldn't be common to use "overheat" as a noun (the same way it's used in Spanish). calentón = the engine/vehicle overheated -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2006-02-17 18:55:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you need a heading, the word "overheating" might be a good option (e.g., the overheating of older vehicles during summer months has created problems on major highways, especially during rush hour). calentón = the engine/vehicle overheated // the overheating (of vehicles) |
