something, you’re hesitant: “I’m hesitant about trying to ride a unicycle in public.” “Hesitant” is by far the more common word; so if you hesitate to choose between the two, go with “hesitant."

rio grande river/rio grande

RIO GRANDE RIVER

RIO GRANDE

Rio is Spanish for “river,” so “Rio Grande River” is a redundancy Just write “Rio Grande.” Non-Hispanic Americans have traditionally failed to pronounce the final “E” in “Grande", but they” ve learned to do it to designate the large size of latte, so perhaps it’s time to start saying it the proper Spanish way: “REE-oh GRAHN-day.” Or to be really international we could switch to the Mexican name: “Rio Bravo."
