I am sorry to inform my American friends that this guy Pedro Álvarez de Miranda has been elected to the Real Academia Española, on the sole merit of having written one book, up to 2006. One, only one: Palabras e ideas: el léxico de la ilustración temprana en España (1680-1760) and published by the Academia itself, where he was working as a printer's devil or something of the sort.
Have you ever heard of a painter who cannot produce a single painting to show his art? Here we have a wordsmith who's never composed a dictionary and yet he is considered a lexicographer.
You have guessed right: I own it I have a bone to pick with this servile sycophant, this flunky, this fawner.

¡¡¡qué mala es la envidia!!!
Si un caso la envidia sería buena. Pero no es el caso. Se lo aseguro. Algún día se destaparán los tejemanejes de la RAE.
