[edit] Translations
In case anyone in a different area wonders how I could say that nuez is translated as "pecan" when many dictionaries (including the Academia) say it means "walnut," it's a regional thing. In parts of Mexico and in Texas, where pecan trees flourish and walnut trees do not, nuez is used by most people to refer to pecans rather than walnuts, whereas walnuts receive a more specialized term such as "nuez de castillo" or similar usages. While the following would never do as a reference within the article, I think this WordReference discussion thread illustrates the confusion and variation. Lawikitejana 01:56, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
