2016 May 1, Javier Marías, “Un par de plagas”, in El País, Madrid, →ISSN:No se trata ya sólo de la falta de dominio de la lengua, del insólito “neoespañol” invasor del que hablé hace meses a raíz del libro de Ana Durante Guía práctica de neoespañol, de los sinsentidos y demencias que se escriben y dicen sin cesar y que han llevado al ex-director de la RAE García de la Concha a calificar hace poco de “zarrapastroso” el estado de nuestro idioma (y aún creo que fue benévolo).- It is no longer just about the lack of command of the language, the unusual and invasive “neo-Spanish” that I spoke about months ago as a result of Ana Durante's book, A practical guide to neo-Spanish, the nonsense and dementias that are written and said incessantly have led to even the former director of the RAE, García de la Concha, to recently describe the state of our language as “messy” (and I still think it was putting things lightly).
