I will never remember this bit about laying and laid and what not.

I have a knack for knowing what sounds right without knowing why. If I am unsure, I will rephrase to something I can be certain of. It's easier than learning something new. ^^

It's not that eek really though, is it now? Native doesn't = Fluent.
The point of native speaking is that you dont *need* to be fluent (unless you're teaching this chosen field), because people can understand you without a second thought regardless.

I strongly expect 99.9% of all Swedes to speak many better English than myself.
