Peer comment(s):
agree philgoddard : You were first. But not "blows" - surely that means it's bad. And to Barbara and Allegro: you appear not to have read the correction the asker made three minutes later.

Rome is cool.

Maybe if you want to be a little more emphatic, perhaps you could say something like "Rome's so/really/real cool." Although, I don't see an exclamation point at the end of the original text.

Stop harassing/denigrating me. I was working on this at the same time as the other translator, anyway, before I entered it, and what I entered is not exactly the same, as anyone, including you, should be able to see. You went w/the ungrammatical choice.

Rome is a blast

Meaning that Rome is very fun and also very beautiful to visit as a tourist, specifically
Peer comment(s):
agree Muriel Vasconcellos : But I don't think your answer is much better than some of the others. It seems to me that a term that has several good translations doesn't deserve a 5 level of confidence.
