In honor of Star Wars turning 30, I give you the Star Wars name game.

[xp_wallflower]

For your name, you use your first name backwards.

For your surname, you use the last food you ate backwards.

For the planet you come from, you use the last medication you took.

So mine is:

Eirual Nekcihc from the planet Advil.

In other news, does anyone happen to have a donut cushion I can use?

Star Wars trilogy! I am knowing this!

Let me to be seeing if this is right...

Ettevy Elppa from a planet Sudafed? This is being right?

That's right. Although, when asking people that question, the correct useage is 'Is that right?' rather then 'This is being right?' And also 'Let me see if this is right...' rather then 'Let me to be seeing if this is right...'

*grins* Hope you don't mind the corrections, I know you were fretting about the English a bit last night. Maybe time for us to start helping you with that, hey?

It is be... it is very helpful, that you are correcting me. The English, he is being difficult, so please to be helping. I want to not sound like I am being not clever.

I was once told that English is the hardest language to learn, because it has so many different source languages and rules to it. Heck, I'm a native speaker and I'd say my grammar isn't that great most of the time. (I like to think my spelling isn't too bad though.)

Let's see, for that last.

'English is very difficult, so please help. I don't want to sound like I'm not clever.' would probably be better. Although it depends on how formal you want to be. Contractions tend to be of use if you want your tone to be more conversational.

And, just to reassure. You don't sound dumb, you're just not a native English speaker and it takes time. We probably have thought to start correcting you sooner. But sometimes people get upset if you correct them, and we've probably all been a bit careful about it.
