In the past, poor grammar and word tense usages have been some of the biggest issues. We
ask that you use some online resources to help edit the grammar before submitting the word
list.

En el pasado, la mala gramática y el uso incorrecto de la palabra han sido algunos de los
problemas más grandes, les pedimos que utilicen algunos recursos en línea para editar la
gramática antes de enviar la lista de palabras.
