First off, I don't blame you, a lot of english people seem to spell grammar wrong as well, you may have just picked it up from someone thinking he spelled it correctly.
And then at least you have a girlfriend...
What I don't really get in either language is when it's "English" and when it's "english", the built-in spellchecker here wants me to write "English person" but to me it's "english person" since english is used as an adjective of person, if it were just "the English are coming!" then it's a capital E in german since "English" is a noun now but in English (the language, thus capital E, right?) it's a capital E since it's a distinctive name like first and last names or city names, which are also capitalized.
I have to think about this for a second every time I have to decide what to do.
Oh, add to that that I have a tendency to leave the Shift key before pressing the letter key and that may explain any mix you might come across...
