I fear in this case, the idiomatic variations knocked it off the track.
She obviously wants to know what process Spearmint is using and will he
e-mail the information to her.  But what speicifically CRECIMIENTO and
AGRADECERIA mean. even my resident Spanish speaker had no idea, save that
they must be technical/idiomatic terms.  

I think George Bernard Shaw's comment on English could apply here for
Mexico and Spain.  "Britian and the United States are two countries divided
by a common language."  Having spent three years while in the US Air Force
assigned to the RAF, I must agree.
