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.

  • Smartphones are one of the most impressive technological innovations of our time.*

** 2. Silicon Valley es la cuna de muchos de los avances tecnológicos que disfrutamos hoy en día.**

Bad version:( Aunque hemos obtenido un progreso enorme technológico, no podemos hacer que los caballos corren más rapidamente que quieren)

.// And thanks to sylyon a much improved version: Aunque hemos logrado un gran progreso en el campo de la tecnología, no hemos podido lograr que los caballos corran más rápido de lo que estos quisieran."

Even though we have made enormous technological advances we can't make horses run faster than they want to.

Hi annie, I don't know how 'technological' it is, but there is a lot of doping going on in horse racing that makes them go faster than they want to. - 0095ca4c, Jun 21, 2013
Not in Europe, its extremly forbiddenheere, really bad form.. Mostly its thejockeys that are doped up here. - annierats, Jun 21, 2013
I know ' medication' is allowed in the US of A.. - annierats, Jun 21, 2013
I think it makes them capable of running faster but maybe they still don't want to :) - ian-hill, Jun 21, 2013
No, Ian, they can' t run faster than they are physically and mentally willing.. I fear you don't understand horses. - annierats, Jun 21, 2013
You can beat aslow or unwilling horse, you can drug it untilit's eyebals pop but it won't win! and you will be disgraced forever.. - annierats, Jun 21, 2013
Hi annie, no, doping is not allowed in USA or Canada. They are tested and re-tested and they have 'detention' barns for anyone that is 'suspect' but there is always a chemist somewhere that comes up with something new that is undetectable for a while. - 0095ca4c, Jun 21, 2013
Nevertheless you had amagnificent 2yearold winner at Ascot, impresive. Obviously, not on drugs.. - annierats, Jun 21, 2013

instead of running free in a field! - FELIZ77, Jun 22, 2013
@annie...lasix only if they are confirmed bleeders. Bute, no, they test for it. I'm not saying I agree with drugs of any sort, but lasix is rather innocuous and I would rather them have that, than end up in a can of dogfood or on a table in Euope. - 0095ca4c, Jun 22, 2013
Annie , horses are very smart , they probably realise "our " capabilities better than we do, and they are probably aware that we are incapable of riding at a faster speed than they allow us. - ray76, Jun 22, 2013

All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness. (Mark Kennedy)

Todos las invenciónes tecnológicas mas grandes creadas por el hombre - el avión, el automóvil, la computadora - dicen muy poco sobre su inteligencia, pero mucho sobre su pereza.

I think that all the technological advances we have made are great, but I'm not excited about the fact that people are becoming addicted to their cell phones.

In my opinion, the problem isn't that we have (or own) advanced technological gadgets, such as 'Smart Phones', but how we choose to use them!.....We can either learn to control them or if not, we will end up allowing them to control us! We must decide quickly before it is too late and we end up become addicted!

Con correcciones: En mi opinión, el problema no es que tengamos aparatos tecnológicos avanzados, tales como "Smart Phones" (móviles más inteligentes/avanzados) sino la manera en la que escogemos usarlos! ¡O aprendemos a contrarlos o si no, terminarán por controlarnos a nosotros mismos.Tenemos que tomar una decisión de inmediato antes de que sea demasiado tarde y nos convirtamos en unos adictos!

¡Muchísimas gracias, Sylvon, por todas tus correcciones y por darme el ánimo!

Original post: En mi opinión, el problema no es que tenemos aparatos tecnológicos avanzados, tales como "Smart Phones" (móviles más inteligentes/avanzados) sino la manera en cual escogemos a usarlos! ¡O podemos aprender cómo a dominarlos o si no, acabamos permitiendo que nos dominen.Tenemos que decidir en seguida antes que llega el momento que es demasiado tarde y llegamos a ser adicto!

Editor's note/s: 1. When I say Smartphones I mean for example, Samsung Galaxy 3 .4 series, Apple I phones, Blackberry, HTC , Sony Experia etc...Mobile phones that are capable of accessing the intermet, allowing you to send e-mails, watch videos, and many other such tasks.

2.This was a tricky post to write because I wanted to translate some vocabulary phrases that I have never used before in Spanish, so native (Spanish) speakers please be gentle on me if I make mistakes!

Gore creado el Internet ... pues seguro que ayudó!

Al igual que el presidente Eisenhower creó el sistema de autopistas interestatales (I 95, I 10, I 50 ...)

En una reciente entrevista publicada por CNET, Cerf, uno de los creadores del protocolo TCP / IP (http / / ...) escribió "Internet se ha iniciado con la ARPANET (proyecto Pentágono DOD) y el gobierno federal financió directamente la creación de la Internet que conocemos hoy, Cerf escribió. Y Xerox merece el crédito también.

Gore más tarde apoyó a financiar la investigación adicional.

Gore created the internet ... well he sure helped!

Like President Eisenhower created the Interstate Highway System (I 95, I 10, I 50...)

In a recent interview published by CNET, Cerf, one of the creators of the TCP/IP protocol (http//...) wrote "the Internet did start with the ARPANET (Pentagon DOD project) and the federal government directly funded the creation of the Internet we know today, Cerf wrote. And Xerox deserves credit too.

Gore later supported and helped fund further research.
