I'm not certain if this is a Mexican thing, or a Mexican-American thing, but I do know a girl's 15th birthday is a huge deal--sometimes costing nearly as much as a wedding! It's called Quinc-something I'll see if I can get some more info from some friends of mine

I found one link where the spaces were wrong but the others seem to be fine.
Info on Mexican traditions would be great,

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

>>>is that morse code?
Erm, not really. It's just a bit of freestyle dot-dashing to suggest tangentially Bletchley Park, radars, signals. I'll get me coat

Hi Elentari,
I´ve just seen the Birthday entry in my space. I´ve read it and...
first of all congratulations! and secondly:
I´ve read:
"most Spanish-speaking countries sing Cumpleaños Feliz, which is to the same tune and is often followed by another song called Las Mañanitas"
Well, it´s followed by Feliz, Feliz en tu día.
Las Mañanitas is what Mexicans sing in their birthdays.
As you have mentioned Mexico a few paragraphs above, I think you should add that bit of Las Mañanitas there.
The paragraph finally would be: "is often followed by another song called Feliz, Feliz en tu día."
::
Hope someone sees this post before editing this Entry.
Sorry for any troubles.
Congratulations - Your Entry has been Picked for the Edited Guide!
