Avoid These Mistakes When Using Enlace
Using vínculo for web links
Incorrect: Abre el vínculo en tu navegador.
Correct: Abre el enlace en tu navegador.
While vínculo means link in the sense of a bond or tie, enlace is the standard term for a clickable web link or URL.
Using link without adapting
Incorrect: Te mando el link. (understood but not standard)
Correct: Te mando el enlace.
Although the English word link is widely understood, enlace is the proper Spanish term recommended in formal and written communication.
