Although I know that my English isn't bad, I also don't think it's all that great. There are far too many words that I don't know and when entering unknown territory, I sometimes find it hard to express myself. To be fair though, the same thing happens in Swedish.
But I'm constantly amazed at the mistakes that other people make, grammatical mistakes, spelling mistakes. Mistakes that are obvious and easily spotted. Even people who've lived in English speaking countries for a long time, and sometimes even native English speakers themselves.
I'm not trying to point out how bad other people are at using the English language correctly, I'm just trying to convince myself that perhaps my English is better than what I give myself credit for. Perhaps with some training I COULD be a full-time writer in an English speaking country.
Oh to live in Notting Hill...
