Computers literal translation is ordenador. Sudacas just took an anglo word and add adora to make it Spanish. As always they are retarded
>>
Usually when a language adopts a foreign word, they either change the spelling to match the pronounciation, or they change the pronounciation to match the spelling.

English does neither, truly is a retarded language but I am forced to use it to be able to communicate with other people on this tibetan tapissery website.
