I need some input from my readers...

Between shivering from the fever (I have a cold and a sore throat) and analyzing some quite complicated contracts, a questions popped into my head:
What's the difference between a geek and a nerd?
Annush told me that "nerds have pocket protectors and wear their pants under their armpit" and "geeks are exactely the same as nerds but no pocket protectors and their pants are a little lower."
Anyone care to share?

Bueno, a mi entender, un nerd es una persona que por lo general es muy estudioso, saca buenas notas, siempre esta alante en cuanto lo academico.

En cambio el geek es una persona que le apasiona DEMASIADO un tema o un hobby, por ejemplo, un geek de computadoras no es lo mismo que un nerd de computadoras, pues el nerd es un genio con computadoras, mientras que al geek solamente le fascinan las computadoras, pero no significa que sepa lo suficiente.

Otro ejemplo de geek es un science fiction geek, o un game geek, etc.

Espero que sirva de algo :P

Yep! I'm with macaruchi(love jet marte). The nerd is the one with the facts, always calculating(sp) and such. Where the geek is just passionate about stuff, usually they are nerdy but not enough.
