    'my mate brought his playstation round'

    Aah, at least we're not American. I mean, burglarization, what is that about then? Personally I think it's all down to the national obsession with 'bigger is better' - excessively big cars, buildings, food, and now language [:x]

    My girlfriend is Polish. We did an online English grammar test. I scored 90/100, she scored 93/100.

    Neither is wrong. They're both just inelegantly phrased statements.

    You could just say "As it's raining, I think I'll stay in." That's not very good sentence construction, either - you shouldn't start a sentence with a preposition!

    (To quote Sir Winston Churchill: "Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.":lol:)

    More elegantly put: "I think I'll stay in as it's raining." (no need to mention outside, as it's hardly likely to be raining inside...)

    I can bore for ages on how to use English properly. I had a very strict mother and one of my past jobs was proof-reading.

    Maybe I should mark all your posts out of ten for correct use of English?;) :lol:


    (No doubt you'll all being jumping on my errors now. I can speak properly, but I'm a cr@p typist!)
