Thank you Maria Teresa, I didn't notice til after I sent the question that it still had the Spanish to English settings from last time!
Sorry, Heather! I've been trying to change the language pair to EN > ES, but either there's a bug in the system which prevents it, or I'm reading something wrong :-S

Thanks Bruno
agree María Teresa Taylor Oliver : Ahora no recuerdo la fuente de referencia donde lo leí, pero, cuando se trata de problemas (sobre todo en medicina), es preferible usar "grave" en vez de "serio" para "serious". || Fue acá, me parece: http://www.efe.es/esurgente/lenguaes/ :)
