> If anything, errors like "there's English words" tend to *conceal* the fact that you aren't a native English speaker rather than giving you away, because that is the sort of mistake made by many people who have grown up speaking English. Unlike them, however, you actually recognize the error. :-)

Or me, who realizes my text is constantly littered with grammatical and syntactical errors against proper "book English". But long ago I decided to write how I speak, or how I would /like/ to speak, and trust that my writing retains sufficient clarity to convey my point adequately. So you might find me writing "there's words enough," and not correct suchlike, because that's what I *would* say colloquially.

Of course, if I were writing to the Queen or the PM or in a formal letter of complaint to Sam (as an example), I WOULD strive for accurate English :-)

There's also evidence that superior poets tend to have always produced superior prose, indicating that a foundation in the basics is essential.
