A friend pointed out the other day how lucky we are to have been born into the English language.

I couldn't agree more.

Although having English as my native tongue allows me certain pleasures, such as laughing at the following: (Courtesy Anguished English by Richard Lederer).

Detour sign in Kyushi, Japan: Stop: Drive Sideways.

In a Belgrade hotel elevator: To move the cabin, push button forwishing floor. If the cabin should enter more persons, each one should press a number of wishing floor. Driving is then going alphabetically by national order.

In a Bangkok dry cleaner's: Drop your trousers here for best results.

Grammar is the one thing someone learning English has an advantage in. They learn everything the proper way.
