Tras un ataque armado contra dos vehículos oficiales, el presidente Rodrigo Duterte puso fin a la mesa de negociaciones con el NEP, brazo armado del Partido Comunista. Concluye así otro intento por acabar una guerra de 45 años y 30.000 muertos.

I would like to know what that expresion means, thanks

"intento por acabar" is the same as "intento de acabar" or "intento para acabar" and means:
This way is finishing another attempt to stop ,,,

Is it as simple as, "Manos frías, cálido corazón."?

Or is there a similar authentic ES poetic expression?

Taken from the ABC newspaper of 2 may 2017:
"El Guerra civilísimo de la Familia Le Pen y la violencia callejera convirtieron el último gran mitin de Macron en un oasis de paz...."

Can anyone tell me why "Guerra" is masculine here?  I understand it is normally feminine.

Hello M.

"El Guerra civilísimo" is not correctly written. It is written "guerracivilismo" which is indeed a male word and refers to the civil war-like mood created by LePen. See also: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/guerracivilismo

I hope the question is hereby answered.

I am thinking about writing a short story about a Mexican bounty hunter with the command "Show no mercy" written on her gun in Spanish. I thought it might be "Muestre ninguna piedad" but after doing more research I was wondering if "No muestre piedad" would be better. Are both correct? Are both incorrect?

I was also wondering if there was a reason "piedad" would be used instead of "clemencia" or "misericordia."

Thank you!

If what you want is to put it on the gun , the best option in my opinion would be to put "Sin piedad" , it sounds way more direct  than "Muestre ninguna piedad"(also, muestre ninguna piedad is not gramatically correct).
"No muestre piedad" is also correct, but it doesn´t really fit well.
Clemencia could be used if you put "Sin mostrar clemencia".
Misericordia isn´t used there because it´s not a complete synonim and in that situation it isn´t used. It also often has to do with expressions about god.

I hope it helps you and sorry for my english if i´ve done any mistake

The basic rule in GL 3 is "Always confirm the first correct posting!". So far, when there was no completely correct posting, and someone voted for a deletion, this delete vote was the first correct posting, so it had to be confirmed. However, most of the contributors understood this differently or didn't want to comply with it, for reasons I understand. In the last months this rule was challenged several times, which caused a lot of discussions. In the end I came to the conclusion that the vast majority of the community wants less strict delete rules. After discussing some text suggestions (forum: #846903), the following rule was accepted and is now effective:

+Always confirm the first correct posting! [...]
A [del] vote is considered a correct posting if no previous posting (input, vote or comment) contained...
