Hola MIke. Muy buena observación. Yo también pensé en "heal" como propone Rolando, y en "mend" en honor a la clásica balada de los Bee Gees, pero como pediste "low class", pues me decidí por "fix".

| George te doy las gracias, sigo pensando cual será mejor porque hay buenas sugerencias. Tu "Fix" me gusta porque apela a una forma muy americana de entender el mundo. |
| George, muchas gracias. Tu enfoque me interesó; me gustaría en siguientes ocasiones de este tema (Chava Flores) pedir tu ayuda específica. Traté de repartir pero el sistema no me permitió. |
