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 speakers 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 know...I'm wondering if the press stopped covering it, if it wouldn't die down. - rac1, Mar 8, 2017
I would love to discuss this with you over coffee sometime, my darlings... but please, can we keep politics out of SpanishDict?? - mstivers, Mar 8, 2017
I hope so. We certainly don't want the media aggravating us. - rac1, Mar 8, 2017

If we can't do that, then there's something wrong here. - Daniela2041, Mar 8, 2017
I know that....don't worry. :) - rac1, Mar 8, 2017
I agree Dani. There is a lot that is supressed by the media. - ian-hill, Mar 8, 2017
@ian-hill It's nice to know that you're on the inside and know what's reallhy going on and the rest of us are just clueless dummies. - Sassette, Mar 9, 2017

The choppy ocean churned the poor fisherman's boat, making each board rhythmically groan under the high pressure.

El alborotado océano batido barco de pescadores pobres, hacer cada tablero rítmico gemido bajo alta presión.

En los mares alborotados los buques anfibios sufren más que otros, porque tienen una parte inferior plana con poco profundidad que no provee mucha estabilización. Por suerte no sufro fácilmente del mareo.

In choppy seas amphibious ships suffer more than others, because they have a flat bottom with little depth that doesn't provide much stabilization. Luckily I don't suffer easily from seasickness.
