You can be smart, you look smart, but you don't want to be a "smartypants."

(Solo para explicar el inglés, las frases aquí no tienen el mismo sentido como en inglés) Puedes ser inteligente, puedes te ves bien vestido, pero no quiere ser un sabetodo.

Since the time of the smartphones everybody is sitting and pushing the device and communicates only though them.

Desde el tiempo de los teléfonos inteligentes todo el mundo se sienta y empuja el aparato y sólo se comunica por medio de ellos.

'Go' van past tense iban. Those prices will never come back. - jemamu, Apr 12, 2015
I think the "go" was intentional jemamu. It is indicatiing that the shoppers are maybe time travellers. :) - ian-hill, Apr 12, 2015
Sí, es correcto, Ian. - jrschenk, Apr 12, 2015
Yes but with the time travel expense you usually break even. - Jubilado, Apr 12, 2015

:) Dogs are smarter than we think - is correct jemamu. Unless you are referring to some specific dogs. :) - ian-hill, Apr 12, 2015
If it is any consolation, people are dumber than dogs think we are. - jrschenk, Apr 12, 2015
Thanks for the correction. - jemamu, Apr 13, 2015

Cada vez que mi esposa me golpea, le digo que me da dolor, que no es más aceptable cuando una mujer da golpes a un hombre que al revés y que ha decepcionado el sexo femenino, porque se supone que las mujeres tienen una inteligencia verbal superior, y sólo me pega cuando gano una discusión.

Each time my wife hits me, I tell her that it smarts, that it is no more acceptable for a woman to hit a man than the reverse and that she has disappointed the female sex, because supposedly women have a superior verbal intelligence, and she only hits me when I win an argument.
