Well, I think grammar mistakes in speaking are inevitable.
I fall victim of saying words like "You was" or "He don't" all the time because I tend to mix up singular and plural when I am talking. Especially in an unprepared speech when I am nervous, my grammar is really screwed up. At least I will try to speak in proper grammar during formal interviews, etc. How about you, do you speak in proper grammar? |

I just speak what I'm thinking... though I try to avoid major grammatical mistakes.

I figure it this way, we have to abide by so much structure in life beit at school, work and in many other social environments. I'm not going to beat myself up if I do not "speak" with proper grammar. |

I try to speak properly, although sometimes I can't help it since most of the people I hang around w/ don't speak proper grammar, & it just kind of sticks to you.
