## Overview
- Sourced calibration anchors for Spanish, feeding `content-locale-humanize`'s AI-Slop & Translationese dimension. This is a calibration aid, not the checklist — reason natively beyond it (see the core skill's "why structure, not word lists" section).
+ Calibration anchors and current norms for Spanish (es-ES and es-419 variants), feeding content-locale-humanize's dimensions. A calibration aid, not the checklist; reason natively beyond it.

+ ### Translationese from English
- Filler: muy, bastante, realmente, simplemente.
+ - Passive "ser + participio" where Spanish uses the pasiva refleja or active voice ("Los datos son procesados" → "Los datos se procesan").
+ - Gerundio de posterioridad ("Se cayó, rompiéndose la pierna"); "en base a" (prefer "con base en", "según").
+ - False friends: "aplicar a un puesto" (solicitar), "eventualmente" meaning finally, "remover" for quitar, "soportar" for ser compatible con.
+ - Possessives with body parts and belongings; capitalized months and weekdays; Title Case headings.
+ ### Current norms
+
+ - Variant: vosotros only in es-ES; ustedes across es-419; voseo only when the brief targets Rioplatense audiences. Pick tú or usted once.
+ - RAE: "solo" and demonstratives take no accent; since 2023 an accent is allowed where the writer judges there is real ambiguity. Opening ¿ ¡ are required. RAE prefers «…», then “…”.
+ - Inclusive language: the RAE defends the generic masculine and rejects @, x, and -e endings ("todes"); Argentina barred inclusive forms in national public administration in 2024. Follow the client guide; otherwise use natural collective nouns (el personal, la ciudadanía) or paired forms sparingly.
+ - Check doubtful usage with FundéuRAE and the Diccionario panhispánico de dudas.
