In third and fourth year French in our school, the teacher purposely didn't speak any English in the class. I distinctly remember telling him that I didn't even know what the plu-perfect subjunctive tense even meant in English, much less French. He just glared at me.

Learning all 14 tenses for every verb is counter-productive. Even if it's mostly pattern matching for regular verbs, it's still wasting time.

What, no "loose" for "lose"?

"can i meet a nice dwn to earth guy between the ages of 21 and 28 or 29 but no older or younger who has a job and folds his own laundry lol hit me up and ill send u pics!! but im 5' 2" athletic GREAT smile and i wrk n pay my own bills so im not a gold digger so u dnt gotta wrry about that. i jus wanna have some drama free fun. i need a taye diggs or a will smith n my life!"
and in my case, I am under no illusion that I am attempting to put my best foot forward, and trying to sell myself, where first impressions likely determine the outcome before even meeting someone in person.

Two of the many things that bug me that I see all the time on Craigslist are:
"I have (item X) for sell" and "I need to sale this".
