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's as fun for me to go out to a bar as it is to stay at home and read a book.

2. Es buena educación desearle a alguien igualmente un buen día si te lo han deseado a ti.

It's good manners to wish someone a good day in turn if they've wished you one.

Anoche regresó del más allá y a mi vida "Kleenex". Pensé que habría cambiado, pero está igualmente de fastidioso que antes o incluso peor.

Debo de admitir que se ve muy guapo todo vestido de negro.

"Kleenex" came back from the dead and back into my life last night. He is equally as annoying as before, or even worse.

I have to admit that he looks very handsome all dressed in black...

As a youngster,I was ambidextrous. In these parts it is considered rude behaviour to use your left hand to collect or receive anything. I guess I am right handed by force. - osas-baby, Feb 25, 2014
My mother was lefthanded , but, like you trined out of this ' una acceptable'' behaviour. She is ambidextrous. Interestingly, my daughter is lefthanded and we' never tried to change that. - annierats, Feb 25, 2014
