al pie de letra
  23

Adverbial phrase, literally translated from the Latin ad pedem litterae, because the first translations of the latin Spanish word-to-Word, were made by placing the castellana under ( walk ) the Latin, which means literally, without interpretations that make reference to the meaning of the expression. For example, the Romans used to say in their everyday conversations: " ab ovo usque ad mala " with what they wanted to say from beginning to end; However the expression to the letter means from egg ( 41 hors d'oeuvres; up to 40 apples; dessert ).
