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.

Si empiezas a estudiar detalladamente el simbolismo del libro " El Mago de Oz", aunque hay diferencias de opinión sobre lo que representa, te darás cuenta de que originalmente los zapatos de Dorothy eran de color plata, no de rubí, y se cambiaron en la película para lucir en el Technicolor, como los temas políticos ya no fueron tan importantes. También se podría dar cuenta de que L Frank Baum, el autor, era racista que advocó la genocida.

If you start to study the symbolism of the book " The Wizard of Oz" in a detailed manner, although there are differences of opinion about what it represents, you will realize that originally Dorothy's slippers were silver colored, not ruby, and they were changed in the movie to stand out in the Technicolor, as the political themes were no longer so important. Also you might realize that L. Frank Baum, the author, was a racist that advocated genocide.

Gracias a mis amigos. - ray76, Sep 7, 2016
Almost. "Detalladamente" is an adverb, and as we all know, adverbs stick to verbs, so you'd have to write something like "el diablo está detalladamente." To use your sentence, you'd need to write "el diablo está en el detalle." - Oshnaj, Sep 8, 2016
Thank you Oshnaj, I shall do as you suggest . - ray76, Sep 8, 2016
Thanks J R don't mind if I do . - ray76, Sep 9, 2016
Thanks Sassette. Nice to have you here again. - ray76, Sep 9, 2016
You are all so kind ! - ray76, Sep 9, 2016
