However, what throws me off is when we try to incorporate foreign words into our language. An amusing example for me is hors d'oeuvres which means appetizers in English. Well because I read the word in books and never heard how it is pronounced, I always figured it was pronounced like "Whores Dovers". So in my younger years when I mentioned we were having Whores Dovers at a party I was having, everybody figured that prostitutes would be there instead of scallops wrapped in bacon.
After that experience, it always did annoy me to see people dropping foreign words into their conversations. I think they do that to come across as "classy" and "educated" but they should really just stick to using English words and leave those fancy sounding words in Europe where they belong.
I learned to read at an early age. My parents taught me to read before kindergarten. I never had a problem with such words as To, Two and Too. But my spelling has always been terrible. As you notice my grammar still needs some help.
