Tech/Engineering - Geology / mineral deposits
Spanish term or phrase: sin menosprecio
Hola! Necesito ayuda para expresar correctamente la palabra menosprecio en el siguiente contexto:

se puntualiza que la cartografía incluye todos los aspectos geológico-mineros, **sin menosprecio** de ningún detalle útil para ilustrar y resaltar el modelo y el potencial de las regiones estudiadas

¿Cómo lo dirían? Es una conferencia mía acerca de yacimientos minerales. Agradezco su ayuda de antemano

Explanation:
Hi Enrique,

Same meaning, different wording.

In all honesty I am native in Spanish rather than English, or at least my Spanish has the upper hand, but when I do have to translate into English I don't feel 100% comfortable going for "without..." for with this type of "sin..." structure. Not saying it's incorrect - it certainly isn't - I think perhaps it may have more to do with my own taste for English.

BTW, I would rather Jackie had entered a suggestion containing "neglecting", since he/she (sorry Jackie) was the first to come up with that term, but I think the alternative structure justifies a separate answer.

Good luck!

Álvaro :O) :O)
