     I still use fountain pens and bottled ink, so this is useful for me to know.

     @santiago
     I don't want to annoy you with too many Spanish questions at once, but I just learned the other day that Spanish has several words for "here": aquí, acá, allí, allá, ahí. Is there an easy definition for these?

     (I noticed you used "acá in this post and "aquí" in another one where you were presenting a link to another website.)

     @Scott
     Not so easy to answer but in a first simple approach:
     Aquí and allá are equivalent synonimous you can use without any specific rule.
     The same for allí and allá to say there. Now ahí is to be use as a place outside yours and the one whom you talking. Saying ahi is a third place you mention to another guy ( hope you can understand).
     There are more subtles details for using these adverbs regarding time but even natuve speakers don't know or bother with @santiago @matiiob
