la edición ( eh-dee-see-ohn' )

noun ( edition, publication )

Francobollo is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts according to his suggestions. There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.

Guidelines:

Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Have fun experimenting with Spanish.

Examples:

thank you Francobollo, the word you suggested " poemario " is terrific and does away , or makes my four words superfluous, so thank you so much. - ray76, Nov 7, 2012

Cuando estoy trabajando fuera de mi pais me gusta leer la edición electrónica de uno de mis periódicos nacionales. Diría que el mundo de la edición está preocupado con la disponibilidad gratuita de información de actualidades por internet.

When I'm working outside my country I like to read an electronic edition of one of my national newspapers. I would say that the publishing world is worried about the free availibility of current affairs information on the internet.
