faster, smoother or simply 'easier'
Hi Sherry,
Another bunch of suggestions.
Non-literal, but very often in Spain we use 'ágil' to mean fast, others to mean 'problem-free', i.e. smooth or just plain 'easy'.
This may not be literal or even, strictly speaking, correct, but then again, that doesn't come as a surprise, does it? ;O)
Good luck!
Álvaro :O) :O)
