Sylyon1976 is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts according to her 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.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

It is a little bit me right now. Taking the intense version of Spanish-4, because it´s what fit my schedule. Essentially 15 weeks crammed into 6.5, so more than 2x as much as usual. Why did I do this? - rogspax, Nov 4, 2013
That's totally me right now... I think I took six AP classes too many this year. - quoththeraven, Nov 5, 2013

She looks so kind and gentle.. - annierats, Nov 4, 2013
But I notice that you say 'yes dear' with a wink. Is that the same as crossing your fingers behind your back? :-) - 0095ca4c, Nov 4, 2013
That's not a wink. That is a nervous tic. - mstivers, Nov 5, 2013

Wolfie objects and says he is a born gentleman, himself. - annierats, Nov 4, 2013
I disagree. We are very different at least from domesticated animals. They are usually loving, kind, loyal, forgiving, greatful...:-) - 0095ca4c, Nov 4, 2013
To each his own opinion. Good one, Gringo! - rac1, Nov 4, 2013
Hi Margherite, it is interesting that you use the word domesticated. Meaning they have been conditioned to be all those things you said. - gringojrf, Nov 4, 2013
Yes, gringo. I suppose if they were born into the wild, it would all be different perhaps. But if that is true, why aren't people conditioned like that? - 0095ca4c, Nov 4, 2013
Yes, Gringo, very good point. Margherite, it is because we are at once more complex, and, not as thoroughly conditioned. Even a child usually has more lattitude than a pet. Not a judgement, just an observation. - rogspax, Nov 5, 2013

La pura verdad es que odio al aire acondicionado en los coches y creo que nunca puedo acustombrarme a estos corrietes del aire que me dan escalofríos.

The truth is that I hate the airconditioning in cars and I don´t think I can ever get used to these draughts that give me the shivers.
