It’s amazing how educational reading old books can be. My current reading material is 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne and during a description of the novelties on the Nautilus, it registered on me that plata is Spanish for silver and that means that the River Plate in South America is the Silver River.
This is not something new; millions of people must know it; but I didn’t until I read the book and experienced the joy of making a connection like that.
