No $3 Ivy League words in this bunch.

Just a handful of words you might use casually on the jobsite during a typical workday to get things done. Yesterday we talked about how easily we learn new words. We are constantly upgrading our vocabulary in an attempt to connect with our kids or get through a Christmas party without looking clueless. Since learning new words is in your bag of tricks, learn some Construction Spanish to minimize rework and improve safety.

So back to the Top 10 list… what’s so special about them?

The cool part about this list of words is they are all Spanish Twins. Spanish Twins are words that are identical or nearly the same in both English and Spanish. Spanish Twins are hands-down the fastest way to build a vocabulary relevant to the jobsite. If you are fluent in English, you already know these words. Now we simply focus on the pronunciation and you’re perfecto. The words in this particular list are identical Spanish Twins. They are spelled the same in both languages. They mean the same in both languages. Metal (may-TAHL) Material (mah-tay-ree-AHL) Plan (plahn) Base (BAH-say) Idea (ee-DAY-ah) Hospital (oh-spee-TAHL) Doctor (dohk-TOHR) Vertical (bayr-tee-KAHL) Horizontal (oh-ree-sohn-TAHL) Diagonal (dee-ah-goh-NAHL) Yeah, you‘ve got some work ahead of you on the pronunciation, but you’ve got 10 more Spanish words in your vocabulary than you did before.

Want 10 more easy ones?

Have you ever heard someone pretending to know Spanish by simply adding an “O” to the end of every English word?

“Hey-oh can-oh you-oh clean-oh up-oh this-oh mess-oh?”

Well, this isn’t very funny and it can be insulting to Spanish-speakers… but there is some underlying truth to it. There are thousands of Construction Spanish words that are English words with an “O” slapped on the end.

For example….

11. Cemento

12. Concreto

13. Ducto

14. Contrato

15. Experto

16. Defecto

17. Plástico

18. Producto

19. Proceso

20. Pavimento

This list of 20 can be reverse engineered very easily to get Spanish-speakers learning Construction English. This holiday season, give yourself the gift that keeps on giving (just like your membership to the Jelly of the Month Club) - effective communication enabling the job to get done right the first time.

Do twins have the same DNA?

gap.med.miami.edu - Are identical twins 100% genetically identical?

Are identical twins 100% genetically identical?

It is true that identical twins share their DNA code with each other. This is because identical twins were formed from the exact same sperm and egg from their father and mother. (In contrast, fraternal twins are formed from two different sperm and two different eggs.) Usually, the egg and sperm come together and create an embryo, which eventually grows into a human baby. However, in the case of identical twins, early in development, this embryo divides into two. This creates two babies rather than one. While the two babies share the same DNA code, there is more to our genetics than just that. During development in the womb and after birth, our surroundings, exposures, and nutrition influence how our genes are expressed and how our bodies and minds develop. For example, two identical twins may have the same genes for height, but if one twin does not receive the same amount of nutrients while in the womb, it may be shorter than the other twin. We know also, that there are some changes to our genes that can happen during the embryonic period or during development. While this rarely happens, it makes it so that one identical twin may have a genetic condition, while the other twin does not. Our genetic code is a very large part of our genetic makeup, but there are other factors, genetic and environmental, that make us unique!
