Learning Dunglish at school
Oh my golden stars from proper grammar, this is for real. This is what kids are being taught at school to get their secondary school diploma. I peakedpeeked around quickly and not everything was translated by a Dutch truck. In the nitpicking department, starting sentences without a capital is a very bad example to set, which is what you can see if you follow the link to the rest of this captivating read.
Let me tell you what you can’t grasp intellectually!

Next time, they should get it typed up by a human being who can actually write in English, not just any old mammel.

I cannot speak for the mammel (sic) family elderly. I’m not at liberty to judge their command of any language.
To my fellow mammalians reading these posts, “No Worries” and hope for the best.
