English is hard

ENGLISH IS FOGGING HARD

Let's face it. I'm not the Queen Elizabeth in what concerns to speak English. But ey! (hey!), just help me. I know you wanted to tell me: "Idiot, it's not like that", now you have your chance. Add your comments/pr/merges/forkes/... here and contribute to the cause of why I am paying a psychologist every month (also, can you recommend me someone?)

I wrote (it is)

  • It should works (It should work)
  • Looks fine for you (Looks fine to you)
  • Dial you (Dial you in)
  • Oyster egss (Easter eggs)
  • He is going to experiment it (He is going to experience it)
  • I'm just worried to don't forget update... (I don't want to forget to update" or "I don't want us to forget to update")
  • Y u don't ack? (Y u no ack?)
  • any reason to don't... (any reason to not)
  • This reminds me to (This reminds me of)
  • You can count with it (You can count on it)
  • [Feedback from an user] keep it going (keep it coming)
  • ...thanks for report it!" (...thanks for reporting it!)
  • When is gonna be the party? (When is the party going to be?)
  • Q: Anyone else bothered...? A: Yes, I do (Yes, I am)
  • I'm not drunked (I'm not drunk)
  • If you want to rolled that out (If you want to roll that out)

I said (it f*** is)

  • Leaving (living)
  • Living (leaving)
  • (Ankle) <-> (Uncle)
  • Hide (I meant to its past form Hid)
  • I need to ask to Peter (I need to ask Peter)
  • Nice to meet you (nice meeting you)
  • Don't fuck me (Don't fuck with me)

p.s.: I know it's not fogging, and in fact is forking but I didn't want to use that word.

"Nice to meet you" is actually better than "Nice meeting you" to me.

I'd say "nice to meet you" when first meeting someone, or "nice meeting you" when departing after a first meeting.

This is from email you sent recently:

"So far it’s only rolled out to herokais." should be "So far it's only rolled out for herokai."

Herokai is the plural of Heroku so you don't need to add an s :)
