I normally would just start to blabber with this question, but now I am thinking. So it is good. It is really good that you all are kicking my butt for every mistake here. It makes me slow down. It is not so that I am suddenly hesitant with my posting, but I am starting to think before hitting the keyboard.
I read a lot of sci-fi. Last thing in english from other fictional stuff had been stories of ( all my instincts hate " of" here. I want either " by" or " from") O. Henry. And clearly all non-fictional literature for my job which is completely in English.
But somehow it doesn't stick. It helped a lot when I started with English. My vocabulary exploded after Asimov. But now.... I understand basically everything. But I would understand it also with slightly wrong grammar. And so my brain decides that "slightly wrong " is ok.
