QUARTS

The quart^[1] is a unit of volume (for either the imperial or US customary unit of measure) equal to a quarter of a gallon, two pints, or four cups. Since gallons of various sizes have historically been in use, quarts of various sizes have also existed; see gallon for further discussion. Three of these kinds of quarts remain in current use, all approximately equal to one litre.

[edit] Definitions and Equivalencies

United States liquid quart

All traditional U.S. length and volume measures have been legally standardized for commerce using the definition of 1 yard being exactly equal to 0.9144 meter. From this definition is derived the metric equivalencies for inches, feet, and miles; as well as area measures; and measures of volume. The US liquid quart equals 57.75 cubic inches, which is exactly equal to 0.946352946 litres.^[2][3]

EL FRUTO PROHIBIDO

No cabe duda que fresa se traduciría en griego hipostasis y al latín hipocrisis. Los que desperdician su tiempo de vida viviendo una vida falsa... Pero, ¿por qué fresa? ¿Cuál era el fruto prohibido? ¿La fresa, la manzana, la vid o el coco? ¡Uy; qué miedo!

Sobre la omnipresencia de los errores de traducción

Sería interesante hacer una lista de los errores de traducción que terminan por ser adoptados como verdades o hechos indiscutibles; desde la Biblia hasta las profecás de Notradamus, y de los doblajes o subtitulajes hasta el caló. El otro día, por ejemplo, explicando la ambivalencia del verbo Ser en español (ser o estar) de la que carece el inglés (to be or not to be) se me ocurrió si la expresión del caló ("ya estás") para marcar la consecusión de un acto (un poco ritualísticamente) no vendrá del "here you are" (aquí tiene) que se tome literalmente como ("aquí estás).
