Jaime: i (semi-purposely) left out the fact that im a junior in high school taking a College level English course that focuses on disecting writing styles and purposes. Canuovea: i agree grammar sucks...when the heck am i ever gonna need to kno what part is the preposition and the adjective vs the adverb! im not gonna sit here reading my book thinking "this is the subject and this is the object." "n00bz r suxxors" is leet speak and not english at but some twist geek code. and finally i wish i could submerse myself in german culture...might actually this summer so if i stop commenting thats why.

I hate it with the passion and power of a thousand burning suns! (Which is almost as much as I hate trying to read stuff like: "n00bz r SUXXORS!" or something like that... I'm not actually sure what that means, I just pulled it out of my head). I read voraciously and can write fairly decent papers (if I do say so myself), but my grammar tends to be my undoing... even though I recognize it's importance... And for those who have trouble learning a different language there is always the choice of submerging yourself in an area that speaks said language. I went to Ottawa and stayed in a bilingual/francophone group and found myself able to communicate fairly well. And this was only for a week... Then again when I got back to my school I couldn't understand half of what my French teacher was saying. Weird. Jamie: Grammar! English grammar!

When English was their first language. Then again my English comprehension and related scores have always been in the top percentages. And I have massive trouble learning other languages because I'm so strictly rooted in English grammar. Sad, pathetic English grammar.

Greatest thing in the world when I have a paper to write for school. I have to stop and think sometimes on some words. Others I stop to think about, then change what I was saying so I don't have to think about spelling it. Wordier, but easier for my brain to handle. I have a college english professor for a dad.

He certainly didn't expect Zazo to come back with something like that! I don’t think he has the chance to get out of there fast enough.

Excellent description. English is an odd language from my experience. I picked French up fairly well in high school (well, almost all gone now), at least the rules were understandable. I may speak English, but it confuses me sometimes. Especially when writing. Too? To? Is there a difference! ARGH! And I'm reading Thomas Hobbes right now... Seventeenth Century English burns my eyes! And makes me want to sleep... I also have been lead to understand that German bears a similarity to English on some levels, and that English is kind of a patchwork. I mean, it isn't counted among the Latin based (romantic) languages but it does make use of Latin roots (Biblio or something, Bibliography, etc). And then there are other languages it steals from too (to?). And I hope I am replying to the right comment... Dark Alley’s. Excellent description. English is an odd language from my experience.
