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.

I agree with you both. lol - rac1, Oct 31, 2015
I have never heard the English word factious. I wondered if you meant fractious(apt to quarrel). But I found factious in an old dictionary 'given to factions'. Obscure though. - jennysk, Nov 1, 2015

No me gusta aliarme con cualquier facción de la política de hoy, porque todos tienen alguna creencia u otra con la que no puedo estar de acuerdo, y, de todos modos, yo tengo que cuestionar la sanidad salud mental de cualquier persona que quiera ser político.

I don't like to ally myself with any faction of today's politics, because all have some belief or other that I am not able to agree with, and I have to question the sanity of any person that would want to be a politician anyway.
