Good for a Giggle

I used to edit articles for a game's website - mostly fiction, but some strategy and the like. Generally speaking, the submissions with perfect grammar and spelling were those from people who had English as a second or third language. Those who were native speakers were usually the worst.

I think this is more or less to do with the fact that when taught as a second language, it's taught correctly. Most native speakers of English are not taught correct grammar these days.

You've definitely got a point there, Raps. We had several exchange students at our high school from Sweden, Germany and other places. Without fail, those students spoke and wrote much better English than most of the American students. One even won several prizes at Speech Tournaments!

I'm pretty good with spelling and grammar, but I am also aware that I can slip up now and then. When I finish my book up and send it in, I promise I will accept any editing suggestions offered.
