¡No! "Cuestionable" es una palabra real...busquela en la diccionaria.
Yo tuve Español en escuela alta, y desde 1994 hasta 1997, yo trabajaba en lugares varios en Sudamerica. 9 meses en la Argentina, 2 meses en Peru, 3 meses en Brasil, y unos tiempos cortos en Venezuela y Chile.

i have to point this out, because it is my biggest pet peeve, other than pronouncing it NUKE-U-LAR (with which president bush has been busy driving me insane the past few weeks)
it is COL-OM-BIAN, NO "U" in the word for the country/language!
