Note: Now although Blakk Frogg does concede that the above ‘trickeries’ in the English language can make things difficult on a person attempting to learn it, he does NOT think anyone should use them as an excuse NOT to learn the language if they choose to reside in the United States. If you’re gonna’ live here, learn the language… and that goes for people BORN here in the United States as well. There’s no excuse for your poor grammar and blatant, almost intentional, misuse of words. You’re part of the problem, really, if you think about it. Why would a foreigner want or see a need to learn proper English when you don’t even bother to learn or use it yourself? <end rant>
