   • 2015 November 1, Ángel S. Harguindey, “Opinión”, in El País‎:

     No se habló de esa ordinariez del 21% del IVA al cine, al teatro o a la danza, aunque sí afirmó que “el talento hay que pagarlo” en clara referencia a la piratería.

     He made no mention of the vulgarity of the 21% VAT on cinema, theater, or dance, although he did state that “talent must be paid for” in a clear reference to piracy.

• Ordinariez is a false friend, and does not mean ordinariness. The Spanish word for ordinariness is cotidianeidad.
