We are looking for an official corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a PM.
Estamos buscando un corrector oficial de las frases en español. Si usted está interesado, por favor envíeme un PM.
Sinmeta will be correcting the Spanish sentences as his time permits. We still need more help with this very important task. Please correct your sentences 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:
1. El niño incurrirá en la ira de su mamá cuando ella descubra el desorden que hizo con la pintura.
The boy will incur his mother's anger when she discovers the mess he made with the paint.
2. Con la llegada de Eduardo, la madre de Claudia no tendrá que incurrir en deuda empleando otro ayudante.
With Eduardo's arrival, Claudia's mother won't have to incur debt employing another helper.
Notes
The 2nd example sentence is part of our Word of the Day "novela" series. Check it out from the beginning on February 1 and stay tuned tomorrow for the next chapter!
Until we have an official Spanish corrector, please help with any suggestions to the Spanish sentences as you are able. It is very much appreciated. Thank you all for being here at SD and for participating in La Palabra Del Dia!

Dentro de la lista de los escritores de ciencia ficción más reconocidos y recordados, sin lugar a dudas que un puesto destacado lo ocupa Julio Verne (1828-1905), quien en sus novelas fue capaz de anticipar innumerables adelantos tecnológicos, impensados para su época. Para muchos, él fue un iniciado con poderes ocultos que, por medio de la capacidad de la profecía, pudo anticiparse a su tiempo, describiendo con sorprendente precisión una infinidad de inventos que posteriormente se transformarían en realidad.Sin embargo, Verne incurrió en un error garrafal en su obra "De la Tierra a la Luna", ya que no tuvo en cuenta la tercera ley de Newton, conocida como "ley de acción y reacción".
Among the list of the most importand and famous science fiction writers is, undoubtely, Julio Verne (1828-1905) who, through his novels, was able to anticipate many technology advances, unexpected at its time. For many people, he was an initiated with ocult power that, through prophecy ability, was able to be ahead of his time, describing lots of amazing invents with really precision, which would come true over time. However, Verne incured/commited a serious mistake on his work "From the earth to the moon", since he didn´t keep in mind the Newton´s third law, known as "law of action and reaction"
