We are still looking for a Spanish corrector that would like to correct on a full time basis. If you are interested, please send me a pm.
Also, I would like to thank all those that have so graciously donated their time in helping us with the Spanish corrections. Cordobesa, Dani, Julian, Luis, tiempo_de_es, Jimmy, Gex-Thunderstrom, leumas11, txustaboy, LuisCache, FELIZ77, Jubilado, billygoat, annierats, Neox, Josuele and anyone else that has helped. Hopefully, I haven't left anyone out.
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.

Si mal no recuerdo, leí un libro de ciencia ficción hace muchos años que transcurría en el futuro, un futuro en el que todos los recursos se habían agotado y el medio ambiente se había destruido, y alguien preguntó por qué los seres humanos de la Edad Contemporánea (la nuestra) permitían que le pasara esto sucediera a las generaciones del futuro. Pensé que la pregunta no mostraba un buen entendimiento de la naturaleza humana.
If I am not misremembering, I read a science fiction book many years ago, that was set in the future, a future in which all the resources had been exhausted and the environment had been destroyed, and someone asked why the humans of the modern age (our times) would allow this to happen to future generations. I thought that the question did not demonstrate a good understanding of human nature.
