I have an ear for languages. I can often spot someone who learned English as a second language, by the syntax they use.

I haven't noticed any awkwardness in your posts, and I am impressed with your skill. ;-D

"Prole" is shorthand for "proletarian."

Well, actually I grew up here in the states, though my mother is German. My Dad, however, spoke mostly in grunts. I don't know who to blame it on (my lack of syntax) . . . public schooling? :)
