It's summer. You're on the beach, by the pool or in the garden — it might be time to get your swimwear out!

But if you're talking about swimwear in English, there's a small problem: there are many different words for it.

"Swimwear" can be used for anything you put on to go in the water, whether you're male or female, so it's always a safe choice of word.

You might also hear "swimmers" used by people from Australia. This means the same thing, and it's always used with the "s" on the end.

In Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, swimwear will also often be called "togs."

And Australians also say "bathers." It's short for "bathing suit," which in British English usually refers to women's one-piece swimwear, but in American English can be anything you wear to swim in.

Anything you swim in can also be called a "swimsuit."

"One-piece" can be used on its own to refer to women's swimwear that's made from one piece of material, as opposed to a two-piece swimsuit like a bikini.

In the UK, the term "swimming costume" also tends to be used to talk about female swimwear. Some British and Australian English speakers might shorten this to "cozzie" — sometimes spelled "cossie," but said the same.

In the US or Britain, men going to the beach shouldn't forget their "swimming trunks." These are the casual shorts people often wear. You'll hear these called "board shorts" or "boardies" in Australia.

Men who are going for a serious swim might choose "Speedos."

Speedo is the name of a swimwear company, but the word is now used across the world for the tight briefs men might wear when they want to swim very fast.

15 de septiembre: El Grito de Independencia.
Un evento histórico que marcó el inicio de la lucha por la independencia de México.
El Grito de Independencia es uno de los eventos históricos más importantes de nuestro país, pues marca el inicio de la lucha por la independencia de México y se conmemora cada 15 de septiembre.

El inicio del movimiento independentista comenzó cuando el cura Hidalgo incitó al pueblo de Dolores a levantarse en armas en contra del Virreinato, al convocarlos a todos a través del sonar de las campanas de su parroquia y gritando con elocuencia los motivos por los cuales no podían quedarse esperando sin participar de esta lucha. Es por esto que dicho evento es denominado como “El Grito”.

Para celebrar este acontecimiento histórico, se lleva a cabo una ceremonia liderada por el presidente de la República, en donde se tocan las campanas de Palacio Nacional, haciendo alusión al llamado  de Hidalgo, al mismo tiempo que se ondea la bandera de México y se brindan respetos a los héroes de la patria.

Mientras el presidente grita el nombre de cada uno de ellos, el pueblo reunido en la explanada del Zócalo de la Ciudad de México, grita con entusiasmo ¡Viva! ¡Viva!, expresión que representa el respeto y la admiración de la nación hacia estos personajes.

De acuerdo al protocolo El Grito de Independencia se lleva a cabo de la siguiente forma:

 

“¡Mexicanos!

¡Vivan los héroes que nos dieron patria!

¡Viva Hidalgo!

¡Viva Morelos!

¡Viva Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez!

¡Viva Allende!

¡Viva Aldama!

¡Viva la independencia Nacional!

¡Viva México!, ¡Viva México!, ¡Viva México!”

 

El Grito no solo se da a nivel nacional, sino que también puede ser representado a nivel estatal y municipal, en donde los gobernantes correspondientes llevan a cabo este acto desde sus respectivas sedes de gobierno.

Este evento es tan importante que en las escuelas de nivel básico en México, se incluye esta conmemoración como parte de los actos cívicos que  ayudan a los...
