You don't need accent on solo in this case because it's not ambiguous. - pesta, Jun 23, 2011
¿Sólo 500 millas y se acaba?.. 1km=1.6millas - fjfuentesh, Jun 23, 2011
Felicidades Marshall!! Has ganado "The Picture of the Day" Bien hecho! - 001a2987, Jun 24, 2011
No, an accent is absolutely necessary here: "solo=alone" and "sólo=only." - SrCientífico, Jun 24, 2011

I think you need a comma before Disneyland as you are addressing them by name. - 0074b507, Jun 23, 2011

trololololol y más lolololol!!! "Chúpate esa" lmao!! awww - fjfuentesh, Jun 23, 2011
Jaja.... I think "suck on that" or "suck it" would be more close in English... just being too honest. Keep it though... ;-P - DJ_Huero, Jun 23, 2011
I think that Eat your heart out sounds much better (and much closer to something that I would say), than suck it, which is extremely vulgar and offensive. (imho) - 001a2987, Jun 23, 2011

Fue un paseo muy divertido, pero el camino de regreso es un asesino.

My original: Estuvo un paseo muy divertido pero la caminar de vuelta es un asesino.

It was a fun ride but the walk back is a killer.
