Hey, everyone forgets things sometimes.People who are native speakers of a language don't always get it right.Half the people i know still can't spell properly.Nobody gets it right 100% of the time so don't feel bad! And just remember if they pretend to know everything then they obviously don't.

+1000000 The best example of bad English is to be found on the translation forum ..by English members. How on earth they expect to get an accurate translation when they can't even write their own language is beyond me

I have noticed the terrible English on this forum. Wrong spellings and a lot of usage errors. Yikes...I want to correct them, but I'm sure that would not be a good way to make friends! I think some people are speaking Engish as a second language (I hope). There is also some Ghetto slang from time to time, like they are staight "out 'da 'hood" ENGLISH TRANSLATION "...coming from a neighborhood with many people of a low socio-economic status"

That was perfect grammar in my opinion. The ones I am speaking of sound like native speakers in their writing...but maybe they skipped a lot of school or slept through English class. Good job you guys who are 2nd (or 3rd) language proficient. I sound like a cave man in Turkish!!! Actually, America has a pretty bad educational system and it is easy for people to graduate and not really know how to write a coherent sentence or paragraph.
