      You are a STUDENT of the English language!

      You are on your way to becoming gramatically sound; however, you must keep studying if you ever want to be a master. You do manage to speak better than most Americans, but then again, that's not really saying too much...
      Shame!

      After scoring 93% on the admission test of a British university I expected better.

      Being humiliated like that, I think I will go back to polish my German, English language isn't for me.

        While your English is not exactly perfect, you are still more grammatically correct than just about every American. Still, there is always room for improvement...

                  It's nice to know that I'm in such good company....well, mostly. ;-)

                  It also means that if I hear any of you use the word 'supposebly'; you will be severely trounced. B^)

                      *blink* me, a grammar god? I certainly don't talk, or write, like it ... but I guess I do have a decent idea of what's technically correct.

                      Wish they would show you what the correct answers were ... the "were/was" for future-less-vivid (I forget the name in English; that's what it's called in Latin) always annoys me: Modern English seems to prefer "was" (and is backed up by some miscellaneous English teachers associations, when you can actually get them to understand what you're talking about..."We don't teach construction that anymore" is not an acceptable answer). "Traditional" English (for lack of a better term) has "were" as the proper term - that's also what I learned at home ("If I were King" still rings in my ears every time). Using "was" in those constructions sounds horrible to my ear, akin to "We is going to the store," but I guess I'll get used to it hearing it eventually, as one does to any slang :/

                        Edit: the html looked terrible... but I was a Grammar God.

                        From what I remember, on the "If I was/were ..." question:
                        If I was ...: it would be possible that I was (whatever)
                        If I were ...: it is highly improbably that I would be (whatever)

                        So both answers are grammatically correct, but the the one to use would depend on what you wanted to say

                            Grammar God here as well.

                            I know nothing about html, so I am not even going to try to post the code. See above for a picture and description.
