People tend to mix up 'your' and 'you're' quite often as well. For OP, it's spelled as well not 'aswell'; took me some time to learn this too.

My favourite is when somebody says to someone else 'your retarded' haha. It's kicking yourself in the face.
Yes, this makes me always laugh.  Cheesy
Although I have never mixed your with you're, since I've started learning English. It is so easy. Much easier than ( Tongue) 'then' and 'than'.

English is a difficult language to learn. I have props for anyone who has bothered to learn another language (or has just mastered their own language  Grin).

in the UK, are you taught a second language in high school? or do you wankers just roll with your english? i'm guessing french is probably the second most spoken language, but you guys seem to hate them so who knows.

English grammar is so easy compared to French.


Is that the reason why you've already made a grammar mistake? Cheesy

What is the mistake?
I put "English grammar is so easy compared to French" into msWord and there is no indication of a grammar issue.

I'm also pretty sure that your sentence is correct.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it better to use "easier than rather" than is so easy compared, it's not false per say, it's poor. I my self don't speak perfect English but I was corrected many times for such a thing by my English teachers especially when it comes to engineering reports or research papers ( I used to get them to proof read if I'm going to post something on an international data base )

It's OK but 'very' instead of 'so' would probably be better, in my opinion.

Well indeed English grammar is much easier than grammar of many other languages.

This is the reason why so many people speaks English! Smiley

If you want to learn really hard gramma - try Polish or Chinese Smiley

English is very good language - easy to learn - worldwide - sounds nice Smiley
But there are many tricky things that we should be careful Smiley

Like for example, when I was in England, I was using words "Don't like" then some UK mate told me, that it would be much better to say "Dislike" as they do not use words "Don't like" so if I want to sounds more British I should use "Dislike"

But this was in Britain so perhaps some other countries where English is in use will tell me something different Smiley

Most people I know say 'don't like' instead of dislike. Where were you staying?

lol I just made a type on the " it is "easier than" rather .... isn't obvious ..... heck you've even wrote correctly a few words later.

I can't really know if it is a typo or not. How do I know that you really know English? Tongue

My english can be horrible at times.  When I am really tired I dont care if I make grammatical errors in the forums or chat rooms.  People tend to think if you have bad grammar your bad at communicating.

Well it is good to see a good discussion about grammar.  Hopefully I'll be able to get the hang of the issues I'm having with my grammar.  Lots of advice given so I don't think I have much excuse now for not learning much of what confused me.

I don't know how is best to use the words too vs to and would like some help better understanding how "to" do so.  I feel like I missed a day of English class when all of this was covered in my younger years and it's now time to catch up.   Smiley

To my limited understanding I think too should take the place of the word also, or atleast that is how I've come look at it.  I'd like to be more grammatically correct with my words and would like anyone knowledgeable and willing to help me and others that may have the same issues better understand what is right way to use these words. 

This can also be about common mistakes you notice but for now let's try and keep it simple please so that people actually learn something instead of feeling intimated by the intellect or another and don't bother learning anything.  I'm also confused about words that spell check underlines as a word that has been spelled incorrectly.  For example atleast is underlined when I type it out but I think that is how it's spelled, am I incorrect?  Things of this nature is what I'd liked to be discussed, please and thanks for your help in advance..

Not sure what "day" you missed in school, but it's suffice to say that a lot of shit was covered that particular day according to your OP.

I wouldn't expect you to know the date either Phineaus Gage.  I admit I was exaggerating the reason for why I'm misunderstanding the proper context of each word.  I'm sure there is multiple reasons for why I'm having trouble.  I was mostly trying to be funny.

here it's quite obvious and reading the rest of the sentence just beyond the word rather proves what I mean there lol
