  • I'm an American, and yet, I admit that this is true.

    • If it makes you feel any better, I had to listen to an English person today say "We could have did this different".

      • Wow, my brain couldn't even register that much stupidity at first. I had to read it several times before I got the full extent of his or her's horrible grammar... sigh.

        • Hehe, it was a British footballer and they seem to have their own bastard version of the English language. Another common one is "Our boys done good". Or they often start a sentence with "Like I said", regardless of whether they've said it or not. More often than not they're referring to something for the first time.

          One time I heard a manager say: He didn't go round the man like what he did when he didn't do that. And I heard a pundit once say: The boy give it some eyebrows. Amazingly, I actually knew what he meant although he tried everything in his power to conceal it with mangled English.

          • We all know their level of education! They don't even play football at grammar schools.

        • They were on TV. I corrected them in spirit, though. For both mistakes. I'm amazed they managed to mess up twice with just a six word sentence.
