Today’s headlines in Guatemala

According to Wikipedia’s page about Guatemalan newspapers, the most widely read paper in Guatemala is Nuestro Diario.  Let’s see if I can make it any further in this paper than in a French newspaper… Nope, can’t even get past the headlines.  Let’s see what new words Zipf’s Law brings us today.  Nuestro Diario is a tabloid, so not surprisingly, the headlines are all about violence and Miss Teen Guatemalan Mayan.

  • baleado: shot down, shot dead.  Headline: Baleados en la terminal.
  • arrollado: mown down, swept along, dragged underneath.  Headline: Mueren dos hombres arrollados por camión en Guanagazapa.
