But, she studied English in college so she always speaks correctly.
Is this where I don't admit that I'm about to graduate from college with a degree in both English and French?
That's why it puzzled me so much -- my grammar isn't exactly what you'd call
bad.
I have learned a ton about English grammar from studying foreign languages, so my grammar is better than that of most people I know. (In RL -- am not including the writers on these boards here, because most of them seem to have better grammar than me.) And yet, I never even had the slightest clue that I was saying that wrong.
Oh, well. I'll live.
Thanks again for your input on this, everyone.
