That said, I'm incredibly thankful that English in not my mother tongue. It would be a total waste to have it as native language.
Which leads me to the conclusion that nobody really has to dominate English because nobody really cares. Heck you are even so friendly in the U.S. and start to make all signs etc. bilingual in Spanish and English from what I've heard. In fact there's only one place to find English grammar nazis, and that's undoubtedly Germany. Just come over here to learn it right.
- the grammar is so simple, it suffices to learn it at age 90, no need to start as a baby
- English native speakers normally don't care if anyone uses the language right, leading to an incredibly high amount of bad grammar and orthography among speakers, even native ones
- English native speakers normally have no clue about vowels thanks to the incredibly ridiculous pronounciation of their mother tongue
- due to the limited English grammar, it must be really hard for native speakers to learn a foreign language, since these normally tend to have grammar
P.S. I know you will pardon my mistakes, if you spot them.
P.P.S. The most common mistake by native speakers I come across in this forum is "definately" and other ways to write "definitely" wrong. Ah the vowels...
