Royal Spanish Academy’s books on grammatical rules are usually commented by media and by specialists in the field, so that innovations of those books are either accepted or rejected, what makes it a controversial issue. In November 2010 the media in the Hispanic world submitted a preview of the Royal Spanish Academy’s Orthography, and reactions against it in social networks were swift, as shown in media. This is new, since it is not just the experts and intellectuals who speak out on the academic literature. Spanish speakers are the ones who have a voice now. This paper aims to gather the most common attitudes on the Internet, especially on social network Facebook, towards two Royal Spanish Academy’s main works, the Orthography and the Dictionary, in order to identify the elements that have caused more rejection among Spanish speakers.
