quickie question

[winter]

Can anyone tell me this: when you're talking Spanish, and address someone as "Señor", would you capitalize the S in the middle of a sentence?

Because I'm missing like three lines from the next OUATIM thingie.

In other news, spent yesterday with the delightful and often whacked people from pl.rec.fantastyka.starwars. I managed to cunningly take control of the photos, so I'll be the one putting them up later - readers of this journal will have a chance to compare me with straight hair from Thursday's party to my mass-of-curls hairstyle from yesterday. And on top of that, I stole a couple of trade paperbacks from V that are just... gah. JMS's "Rising Stars". I think I'm going to have a RavenShadow icon, because the guy just rocks. From the second volume: "Love what you've done with the place. Early American Blecch, if I'm not mistaken."

As far as I know.

Thanks. That's one dilemma solved...

yes, since you are adressing someone and it is a sort of a title you give to that person. something like Mr. ___

'later!

Hey, not like you have an obligation to reply to every one of my queries about Spanish ;) If you did, I'd just e-mail...

I gather then that it's correct to put in something like

"You're still doing it, Señor," Paco said thoughtfully.

Depends on the context. If there's some familiarity Paco could use compadre in more or less the same vein that one uses buddy or pal in English. And don't forget about guey, the Mexican equivalent of dude :P

Nope, this situation definitely calls for Senor. But hey, thanks - the other words are certainly noted down for future use :)
