A button with the following: "I've also got this question."

English translation= "I have also got this question". Got is the past tense of get and has no other meaning. This from an American University. I guess English is no longer a subject that is taken seriously at Bezerkly. Figures. Try something like: In addition I have this question, or I would also like to know...what everrrr but stop using GOT it sounds ignorant. I know I am not supposed to be here but guess what I am so get accustomed to it.

Remember these pages translate to other languages, and that proper english does not always translate into something intelligible to some languages. So they have used words that translate with more sense.

These bad english sightings are all over these pages.

Symantecs.

Not everyone views this site in English, and it's not the only language out there. I would hardly worry about "improper" English. But I suppose it always helps one feel superior to complain about the English of an education facility.

I know I am not supposed to be here but...


Why not? Everyone belongs. Welcome to the boards!
