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.
Examples:
1. Los mariscos que comí anoche me enfermaron.
The seafood I ate last night made me sick.
2. Cada invierno me enfermo por lo menos dos veces.
I get sick at least twice every winter.

No me gusta cuando la gente pone etiquetas a las personas por su enfermedad o padecimiento. Les dicen diabéticos, esquizofrénicos, autistas, entre otros nombres, en lugar de decir que esa persona tiene diabetes, esquizofrenia, autismo, o cualquier otro padecimiento. Es mi humilde opinión.
I don't like when people label other people by their illnesses or ailments. They call them diabetics, schizophrenics, autistic, among other names. In my opinion, they should say that the person suffers from diabetes, schizophrenia, autism, or any other illness or disorder.
It is only my humble opinion.
