That is a very common mistake I see, people using "learn" for "teach". They also use "learn" when they should use "study".

Yep. Dutch people also make exams instead of taking them, which sounds really odd.

It's no use correcting people who suck (like me with Dutch) cause they make so many mistakes they'll never be able to take advantage of all the feedback. It's effective with people who are good, but who are not aware that they are making a mistake. Although it irritates them, they are much more likely to learn from it.

Yeah, that's true. They also give movies at the cinema.

The internet gives you tons of opportunity to practice, but also makes you sloppy after a while. Half the time I feel like using capitals and writing correct sentences is not worth it.

I'm mostly into python/ruby/javascript kinda stuff. And linux.
