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.

Wonder Woman gets furious when you typo he name Dani :) Great image sequence thingy. I don't even know what these are called, let alone how to do them :( - jellonz, Jun 2, 2017
Her - typos abound :) - jellonz, Jun 2, 2017
I don't think top speed would be fast enough to get away from her. lol - rac1, Jun 2, 2017
Great post , please ask her to fix my account on S D . - ray76, Jun 2, 2017
Jellonz...it's called a gif. They are easy to post :-)! - Jraider, Jun 2, 2017

Porcu: I think the subjunctive is optional after puede ser que, but it is practically obligatory after no parece que, just as it is with no creo que. (I would change está to esté) - DilKen, Jun 2, 2017
Thanks Ken - porcupine7, Jun 3, 2017

We would not scold you here Ann. - ray76, Jun 2, 2017
We couldn't...we do the same. lol - rac1, Jun 2, 2017
Ann: Today....Estoy...Soy would say you are a furious person I think, not that it is your mood of the day. :) - DilKen, Jun 2, 2017
I ain't gonna judge you Ann :-)! - Jraider, Jun 2, 2017
Ken, thanks. I would have known that, had I been thinking. - AnnRon, Jun 2, 2017

En unos pocos momentos furibundos, dos hombres acabaron muertos y otro gravemente herido. Por casualidad hace unas pocas semanas que el tribunal federal me indicó que podría llamarme para ser miembro de un jurado pronto, pero dudo que logre ser miembro del jurado que castigue el idiota que hizo esto.

In a few furious moments, two men ended up dead and another gravely injured. Coincidentally a few weeks ago the federal court indicated to me that they might call me to be a member of a jury soon, but I doubt I will get to be a member of the jury that punishes the idiot that did this.

Just to be clear, the picture is of the surviving victim, not of the cretin. :) - bosquederoble, Jun 2, 2017
Or should I say the surviving victim of the physical attack, there were other victims of course. :) - bosquederoble, Jun 2, 2017
It's a horrid thing to have happened at all and too sad. - rac1, Jun 2, 2017
Fear leads to anger, and anger leads to hate. So sad :-(! - Jraider, Jun 2, 2017

To SD? I can agree. - Nickelbackfan1, Jun 2, 2017
Not to worry, Ray. There is an answer to this somewhere. Have you tried logging in and saying you forgot your password? Then you could change it and maybe get in that way. - rac1, Jun 2, 2017
Computers are great when they work, but when they don't....Arrrrrgh :-[[[[[!!! - Jraider, Jun 2, 2017
Ray: Estoy. Maybe you want to bump the Ser vs. Estoy lesson :) At least I hope that your computer woes are only transient and you have not become a furious person. :) - DilKen, Jun 2, 2017

J: I was curious about gerente in terms of baseball. I checked wikipedia and apparently the preferred term for this is mánager, a real anglicismo. Just thought you might like to know, no need to change it IMO. - DilKen, Jun 2, 2017
I was wondering about that also. Baseball is popular in Mexico, gracias amigo ;-)! - Jraider, Jun 2, 2017
Entrenador is Spanish for coach. I'm not sure, if that applies to baseball. - NKM1974, Jun 2, 2017
Baseball teams have several coaches who are referred to in Spanish as entrenadores on wiki. They have one manager, who is referred to as mánager. - DilKen, Jun 2, 2017
Gracias amigos :-)! - Jraider, Jun 2, 2017

Estoy furibundo porque mi tanque séptico explotó y va a costar $20.000 para reemplazarlo.

I'm furious because my septic tank exploded and it's going to cost $20,000 to replace. enter image description here

This isn't a joke caption by the way. My septic tank really is going to cost $20,000 to replace :( Arnie is just perfectly embodying the circumstance I am in and how I feel about it. - jellonz, Jun 2, 2017
I would say that I can remember when you could buy a small house for $20,000, but that would be dating myself. So sorry you have this problem to contend with. I'm thinking that a septic tank explosion in and of itself is a big enough problem. - AnnRon, Jun 2, 2017
There's 2 options. La fosa séptica es feminina. El pozo séptico es masculino. - NKM1974, Jun 2, 2017
"Explode" may have been a bit of a dramatisation Ann. More kind of bubbled over violently? Still the 20K is no exaggeration. Oh well. Such is life. Thanks for the kind thoughts :) - jellonz, Jun 2, 2017
Thanks Nkm. I found tanque séptico used in this context so I think it is ok, but if anyone can confirm your options are better I'll change it. - jellonz, Jun 2, 2017
I have had a series of unfortunate events lately, terminating in our laundry room completely torn apart now, so I have some sympathy. Luckily the homeowners insurance will cover some of the latest disaster. :) - bosquederoble, Jun 2, 2017
Sorry that you had this trouble mate , but you may not have had it pumped out frequently enough , or had been overusing it for some inexplicable reason. - ray76, Jun 2, 2017
I do overuse it regularly Ray, such is my constitution, but we only moved in 3 weeks ago so I don't think I can be blamed for filling it on my own :) - jellonz, Jun 2, 2017
Sorry to hear that Bosque. Unfortunate events do tend to come together. At least after the series is done there is normally a respite :) - jellonz, Jun 2, 2017
So very sorry to hear that, Jellonz, but at least you have a good attitude about it. That's important! :) Things will work out in the end....no pun intended. lol - rac1, Jun 2, 2017

Most people would be furious at a person who sabotages and destroys their hard work. La mayoría de la gente estaría furibunda por una persona que sabotea y destruye su trabajo duro.

Some English options Nkm: Present - a person who sabotages and destroys - people who sabotage and destroy; Past - a person/people who sabotaged and destroyed. - jellonz, Jun 2, 2017
I went with the present indicative. - NKM1974, Jun 2, 2017
Looks like conditional to me. Also "La" mayoría. Also furibundo should be feminine to agree with "Mayoría." - Daniela2041, Jun 2, 2017
Thank you both for the corrections. - NKM1974, Jun 2, 2017
Yep, I'm sure they would. - rac1, Jun 2, 2017
It takes a lot for me to get furious anymore :-)! - Jraider, Jun 2, 2017
nkm: I would have used con instead of por. Por might work "furious because of a person..." but I like con better here. - DilKen, Jun 2, 2017
to be furious (with sb) estar furioso (con algn); (from the SD dictionary) - DilKen, Jun 2, 2017
In this context, por would be Peninsular, while con is American. Yes or No? - NKM1974, Jun 2, 2017
n k m . You've got me. I'm not familiar with a difference between por and con which relates to region. Do you have a source (a website for example) that discusses this? - DilKen, Jun 2, 2017
This wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_prepositions - NKM1974, Jun 2, 2017
I read the sections on por and con in the article and didn't see what you might be referring to. Can you cut and paste the reference you're talking about either as a comment or in your original answer? Thanks. - DilKen, Jun 2, 2017
nkm: checking context.reverso.net I get hundreds of translations of furious with as furioso con, while furioso por translates as furious about or furious because of. Up to you, as always :) - DilKen, Jun 2, 2017
I might be referring to a por & para con. Thank you for your assistance. - NKM1974, Jun 2, 2017
nkm. Thanks, I'll look them up, I'm not very familiar with either of those. - DilKen, Jun 2, 2017
