Atrocious mix of Urdu and English:

Hamain Kilifton beach par aa kay baraa enjoaaey aaya.

Ham ne Kilifton beach par aa kay baraa enjoaaey kia.

Aisaam-ul-Haq hamaara proud hain.

Two weeks ago at our fav Chinese restaurant our main course arrived before the appetizer. I asked our sweet friend and hostess about it. She replied (It is) "going coming". She is a sweetheart.

@Enigmatic

So what are some of the most common grammatical errors you come across as far as written and spoken English/Urdu (or any other language) is concerned on a daily basis. And am I the only one who gets put off by wrong (atrocious) use of grammar in every day written correspondence or even conversations?

Perhaps?

So do you think we humans, as a whole, are getting smarter for noticing these errors? Or are we (space plumbers included) just dumb for making them in the first place?

At least you know what present continuous and future continuous are. I don’t.

And I don’t think I care.
