[Tango-L] Posting & open discussion on Tango-

Well, they say you learn something new everyday. I'm certainly 
not going to argue about what words mean because my Spanish is 
limited and my Lunfardo non-existent. But I like to use the correct 
terminology and I've never heard before that a Sacada must 
interrupt a turn. I always thought a Sacada was a displacement of 
a leg or foot by the partner’s leg or foot. This can occur at almost 
any time and not just during turns. I checked this site, which I 
usually use to check terminology:

 http://www.tejastango.com/terminology.html . 

Part of the definition of Entrada is ... 'without displacenment' and
the definition of Sacada makes no mention of interrupting a turn.

Is it wrong? I know this might not seem important but I think words
are important as they're the only means we have to say what we 
mean.
