Quote:

It's similar to what happens when a native speaker lives in a foreign country for so long that the locals' mistakes start to sound normal.

Seems to happen also to native and nonnative speakers who've been in the EFL/ESLese world too long or those who've had there noses glued to a pedagogical (simplified) grammar book for years. Such people often can't see beyond the examples they assume to be correct.

Make a lee , lee side where ship protects her body for example ROV. Molly , are you trying to point somebody special I guess ?? I was studing English on special courses in Pubs and I am mostly satisfied ? All of us have spent to much time for English in my opinion. There are many other more interestings things to do as reading even very very simplified grammar book. Jan
