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.

Hoy en día la lealtad no está de moda. Es normal cambiar de trabajo,de banco y de mujer por lo menos tres veces durante tu vida. Sin duda, a muchos hombres les gustaría cambiar también a sus niños , pero eso sería un poco más difícil. .

These days loyalty is unfashionable, it's normal to change your work, your bank and your wife at least three times during your life-time. Undoubtedly, many men would also like to change their children but this might be more difficult.
