Tajador and sacapuntas are two words that refer to the same object: a pencil sharpener. The difference between these two words is that they are used in different regions. In Mexico we say âsacapuntasâ
- Spanish (Mexico)
In the Mexican state of YucatĂĄn we use the word "tajador". In the rest of the country it's called "sacapuntas"

@janowika SĂ, es raro, yo tampoco sabĂa que asĂ se decĂa en otros estados hasta que un amigo de la CDMX que estudiaba conmigo no me entendĂa cuando le decĂa que me prestara su "tajador" jaja, debe ser porque el español yucateco de por sĂ es un tanto diferente a todas las demĂĄs variantes del paĂs
