one tree at a time Explanation: Yes, "pie" is commonplace in forestry. It referes to an individual tree. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day4 hrs (2010-02-02 22:50:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ah... but it's correct for the context that you posted. It's a traditional farming term - more common in Portuguese than Spanish. The Spanish question came up on KudoZ before. Since I speak Portuguese with my family, I hear it often. It's just a matter of getting used to it. |
