Hm. Btw, what do you mean with Rants and "Raves"? Isn't "rave" a sort of discoteque where youths are running around in total darkness, taking coloured pills and with weird sounds popping out of the speakers, like in Pac-Man?
Rave only started meaning that recently. Rave until then only meant when someone was expounding exuberantly and positively. (So, it's the opposite of rant.)
Ok, thanks. Maybe I should have known that. I was reading english last term with a class at school which was a year older than me, because I was able to skip a year of english studies (because of high grades, erhm =P). Now I have to wait until my last year in highschool too have englishlessons again with my own class.. Uhm, well, it's pretty hard to explain the swedish schoolsystem just like that, but my point was that I'm not currently active in english at school, which makes me a bit 'confused' when writing in english, and it's hard to remember the grammar and words.
No apologies necessary. slang in another language is difficult at best, and american english seems to always be in a state of flux.(change)
Don't worry about it. Your English is still better than most Americans, who are only marginally semiliterate. This is usually a pretty good sign that the person in question has a decent probability of being foreign.
I'm blushing in an appropriate way right now. I'm a member of many (international) forums, and I just came to the conclusion that many native Americans are abusing the language in one way or another, but not more nor less than Swedes (especially youths) are abusing Swedish.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious... I just...w...wanted to use...b...big words like everyone else... Cheers!
