I hope you won't kill me for this...but when I was studying in America (at the
age of 12), most of my schoolmates made such terrible spelling mistakes
it's quite funny, but I was one of the few students who managed to get an A in
spelling:-D

Oh, knowing how bad I am at the only non-English language I'm even vaguely
able to communicate in (Italian), I'd agree about not making fun of any English
- as - second - language speaker! and they do say that English is one of
the hardest languages to learn, because it's so inconsistent.
There is a bad joke around campus here.
They call a person who knows two languages bilingual, what do they call
someone who only knows one language... American. :P
It is becoming a necessity here to learn Spanish because of the influx of
people settling in the area that are coming from the south
