My favorite mistakes made by English learners are word order and misspellings, because those errors result in the BEST sentences EVER, like those I received from my students, as follows:
Spelling error: (writing about his favorite food, King crab) I LOVE TO EAT CRAP. Word order mistake: (writing about placing a purse behind her) I WANT IT IN MY BEHIND. Needless to say, these sentences totally made my day, and I think I got some weird high from holding my breath long enough to suppress busting out laughing. I luv teechen Englush. **Liability Release** I am in NO WAY mocking those who are trying to learn another language, or putting down Koreans at all. EVER. That's not what I'm about. This is comedic only, so get over it. I get laughed at aplenty when I try to properly pronounce "dong", which is a Korean name (Dong) and also means" neighborhood" and "poop", depending on pronunciation (Dong vs. deong vs. dang). I frequently pronounce it as "poop" on accident. Well, shit (dong), at least I try!
