That's funny. The poor lady probably flipped out x) But it's totally excusable, it shows when someone's talking in a language they're not 100% fluent in.

I tend to abbreviate <it has> to <it's>, which is grammatically correct. And sometimes I say <what's> when I mean to say <what does> That is a mistake.

So loveskyliemole, given the level of the language you're at, the best to do is move to an English-speaking country and learn by day-to-day contact with native speakers


everything is relative and contradictory ~
