Actually, I think that sometimes people who have learned English as a second language have better grammatical skills than those of us who grew up speaking English. After all, they didn't learn all the bad habits we did when learning English.
You should hear my extended family when they get together. I'm not sure they know the difference between lend and borrow - let alone the subtleties of grammar
. On the other hand, they did grow up north of seven - which all of you from southern Ontario should understand
- and yes, there are rumors of inbreeding
As for all of you grammar experts out there... I’m convinced that you are all part of some elite group that gets together every once in a while and change all the rules - just to keep us novices from understanding them
