It seems to me, and correct me if I'm wrong, that conjugating words is pretty simple for the most part. People who don't use the proper forms don't care about the details and specifics. And if they're ignoring details and specifics in simple things, how closely are they paying attention to the more complicated things? I tend to put less weight on the words of those who do it wrong, on the belief that if wrong in a little they'll be wrong in a lot.

I have a section in a favorites list for my "which word do I need here?" parts, because I still can't remember. Lie, lay, lay has three links from the same site because I'm not the only person who couldn't get it the first or second time.
Worse yet, I know lie is what people do, and lay is what we do to an object, BUT... what is it if the object is sentient? In Star Trek: Next Gen., Data is an android. Does the android lie or lay? This seems like a nitpick, but, dagnabit, my novel is about sentient stuffed animals. The question had to be fought through the whole way.
(I did decide if they choose to recline, they lie. If someone flops them onto a surface, they lay. But that took me two hours to figure out in the beginning of writing the novel. It just shouldn't be that hard. And it's still that hard because it's past tense.)

Reminds me of the MASH episode where Klinger was doing night guard duty (in robe and curlers, of course)... Hawkeye came storming through on a fast trip to use the phone or something... Klinger said "Halt! Give the password" and Hawkeye said "Get out of my way or I'll break your neck".... Klinger said "That's CLOSE ENOUGH" and stepped out of the way....
I love that show...

I just say College so people kinda understand what I talk about lol. Well we don't have high school the way the US does... and if you get good grades you can go do college and then UNI faster.
If you meet their qualifications to do 10th grade OR (if your not good enough but got your 9th grade graduation/degree) you do 2 more years of another school where you go 2-3 times a week.
I did my 10th grade and got the '' secondary degree 1 ''. Depending on the grades of that you can go do more school or work. You have to get a college degree to go to the Uni so I decided to take a slow way to a college degree. 2 years of school and like 6 months of work experience and I got it .
So then now I'm doing the degree Specializing in Business & Administration. I could have tried getting the ''general degree'' in another school immediately..it would have been 3 years with no work experience but my math and stuff is so bad though, me missing too much because of being sick, that I wouldn't be able to do it.
But after my Business degree I can add another year and get the general degree too. Just had to work longer for it than others.
I tend to always misspell necessarily and variety perhaps I should put a "post it" on my laptop.

Considering that 'Uni' is [ simply ] short for 'University', what exactly is the difference between it and 'College'? Is 'College' the equivalent of 'high school' in the U.S.A. and 'Uni' / 'University' the same as 'College' / 'University' in the U.S.A. ?
In the U.S.A., 'College' is a more general term tied to the 'level' of education that the school is supposed to produce; whereas, 'University' usually more often describes the school itself as a "place of learning" - at the College 'level' of education.

Well here you need the college degree (they call it Abitur) to be able to visit the University. Im already getting a higher education as not everyone can do the degree I do. Its kinda like this.. I am doing a Buisness Management degree and with that I can go to the University and do a Bachelor, Dolmetcher,Masters or something that has to do with the buisness management spectrum.. It just gives me a even higher qualification then.
It kind of provides you with a direction to keep on studying and is preferred by many Firms.
