Usage notes

 * Not all countries make a distinction between 'lime' and 'lemon'; limón may be used for both. Where this is the case, 'lime' is usually the default reading, and they may be distinguished as limón  (lime) and limón  (lemon), or simply as limón (lime) and limón amarillo (lemon) – in much of North America – or limón (lemon) and limón verde (lime) in Spain. In Mexico and much of South America, lima may be used for 'lemon'.
