Translators are not linguists, it took me a several years to overcome some popular Hebrew mistakes, most of the native speakers make the same mistakes even while speaking to eachother, The Hebrew language accademy has some rules that are not adopted by the speakers, one of the main reasons is that Microsoft did not comply to the rules of the accademy so nowadays most speakers are still influenced by it and we need to correct these common mistakes
