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. For the Spanish sentences, edit your posts according to the native Spanish speaker's suggestions. 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.

Aunque a veces algunos malinterpretan la relación de indeterminación el principio de incertidumbre de Heisenberg como algo que nos dice que no podemos saber simultáneamente tanto la posición precisa como el momento lineal preciso de una partícula, la verdad es que yo creo que es mejor interpretarlo como algo que indica que una partícula cuántica no tiene las dos características a un grado infinito de precisión en el mismo momento.
Although sometimes some people misinterpret the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle as something that tells us that we cannot simultaneously know both the precise position and the precise momentum of a particle, the truth is that I think that it is better to interpret it as something that indicates that a quantum particle does not have both characteristics to an infinite degree of precision at the same instant.
