That might not be completely unreasonable, actually. Sounds goofy to us,
but we're old. I hear it used a lot. Especially in foreign languages.
Can't say right off what they use for "surf" since the web was just barely
around when I was learning this stuff, and I haven't really been keeping
up. Something like "visitar los webs" sounds about right.
Yeah, here's some substantiation. From an abstract on a google search page.
I'm not going to bother posting the URL.
"Después de visitar todos estos webs y analizar los argumentos...."
(after visiting all of these web sites/"webs" and analyzing the
arguments....)
By the gods I need to get a life.

Unfortunately, it's woefully limited. Last time I checked it out, the
closest wood dealers it found to me were 50+ miles away and it
completely missed the 4-5 that are within 20 miles.

Makes me chuckle... "Bookmark in your favorites." In the beginning, there
were bookmarks. Then Microsoft unleashed Internet Exploder upon the world,
and they couldn't or didn't call them "bookmarks" for some reason, so they
called them "favorites" instead. The word "bookmark" was already part of
the vernacular, and it remains common to this day, so we see the expression
"bookmark in your favorites" showing up.
I'm not giving you a hard time, just posting a useless cultural observation.
It's a potentially useful link.

It's also a pet peeve of mine. The bookmarks to shop related web sites are
indeed my favorites. The bookmarks to the sites related to the un-fun parts
of my job are definately NOT my "favorites." I have to go to these sites a
lot and it irritates me to have to start the sequence by clicking on
"Favorites" !!! On particularily bad days I have clicked and muttered a
discouraging word at the same time. ;-)
Just FYI... In Microsoft FrontPage they're not 'Web Sites' they're 'Webs.'

Especially since you can have more than one web on a web site. <G>
