Oooops, that means spoilt.

Did, however, find a great translation site:

http://www.wordmagicsoft.com/diccionario/es-en/chiqueada.php

I've seen both Chiquiado/a and Chiqueado/a

I've heard Chiquiada used to describe someone who is "sweet talking" as in "baby talk" but I can't find the word in any dictionary.

Chiqueada is as you refer to it. The corresponding verb is "chiquear" (to spoil). "Mimar" is a synonym.

Might need a native speaker on this one.

I figure you're right on that one. Mimada/o is certainly also spoiled. On some sites of colloquial Spanish Chiqueada/o is often used as a term of endearment. Perhaps it means you sweet talking baby?

quisquilloso,-a adjetivo & m,f

1 (meticuloso) fussy

2 (suspicaz) touchy

Chiqueado(a): spoiled

Mimado(a): spoiled

Neither of those means 'nitpicky', i.e., fussy. Quisquilloso (kee-skee-OH-soh) is the word you want, I promise.

Mucha gente queda muy impresionada con los grupos 'Warren Hardy Method' en la LCS. No conozco el método, pero lo que oigo de mis amigos suena bien.

En mi opinión, el mejor maestro que da clases individuales en Ajijic es Agustín Velarde. Pregunte por él.

El Sr. Velarde vive en Calle Ocampo #94, Ajijic...pero mi cabeza que ya sirve de coladera puede andar mal en cuestiones de su domicilio. Si llegues allí cerquitas, todo mundo lo conoce. Por eso dije, 'Pregunte por él.'

Por mi parte... aunque te explicas bien simplemente con puro...Prefiero...

I'm confused...

I've heard conflicting instruction regarding this, from both Mexicans and "sabelotodos" from NOB...

Entonces, dijiste "Si llegues allí cerquitas, todo mundo lo conoce", but I've been told that "le", "les" is supposed to be used when referring to a person (male or female), "lo", "los" or "la", "las" is for animals or inanimate objects? In other words, would it be wrong to say "Todo el mundo le conoce"?

Does it depend on context or something? Or the placement of the article in the sentence? Am I totally missing something?

¡Ay!
