LOL i do the same! My English sucks so hard! Our letters look like codelanguage. It's a mix from proper English, Southern, Dutch and drawings. It's so funny that he can write Dutch (i sended him a studypackage for over a year ago). All the Dutch words he knows he always use in his letters. And i love to use Southern words and sayings. I use all those too. Our letters look weird, i guess but it's the language we both created, LOL

English is hard due to same spelling of the word, yet means something different in how used.

Don’t feel bad. English is supposed to be one of the hardest languages to learn. I would think one like Chinese is more difficult because of the inflection but I guess the words in English are difficult due to spelling and the same word can have different meanings. Like "rare" as an example. Rare can mean a steak cooked rare or if something is not common, it is rare. Two totally different meanings. I could see how that would be confusing to a person just learning. Not to mention all of the slang. No one who is a native English speaker uses proper grammar.
