The two best sentences (the most voted and the one selected by the mod and the thread owner) will be chosen to be used as the example sentences for the Word of the Day 30 days later based on votes and correctness. ********************************************************************************* Remember, you may NOT use a translator. This exercise is to test your abilities to write in both Spanish and English. ********************************************************************************* Only fully correct sentences are eligible to be chosen for the Word of the Day example sentences. ********************************************************************************** You may choose to include one picture with your sentences, but this picture may not be included in the Word of the Day email, so make sure your sentence is fully comprehensible without the visual aid .

Posts which will not be corrected or accepted:
Captions with 3 words or less
Paragraphs with more than 1 1/2 lines
Posts which make no sense in either language
Posts which consist mainly of lyrics or idioms which do not translate.
Captions copied directly from books or other sources.

Remember to correct your posts as suggested or they can NOT be "accepted".
