Beorne, can you tell me the typos? To me it seems that I didn't make any errors.

oh i see, its a grammar-problem.you have to understand me, my proffesor didnt teach me grammar because they it's useless

[llamabeast]

Hmm. Naughty professor!

I dunno if Swan is joking or speaking for real, but it's true that here in Italy there's plenty of mediocre professors (not all of them are, of course) that teach you mainly the Elizabethan period and Shakespear's history, in the english classes. In italian. Self-teach or perish!

You're lucky, my english professor did astrology all the time!

He must spend a lot of time in internet chat rooms with American teenagers.

That'll teach anyone to devalue things like grammar, spelling, sentence structure.....

Actually I can see the point when teaching a second language.
There is a long way to go between a level where you can be understood, and a level where you are fluent. Spending a lot of time on syntax vs more "words" can be inefficient. The most misunderstandings occur more from lack of thesaurus than from incorrect syntax.
