At least I understood you were taking the piss OUT OF me. Most of the time I don't get the jokes, translate literally and give quite stupid replies :) (And the image of you pissing ON Cameron was quite funny)
As I said for my first B3ta birthday, this website has truly improved my understanding of the English language.

you might want to remove that erroneous apostrophe in the post title)
I can see what you mean, though - you don't really learn a language until you try having conversations and start picking up the colloquialisms and other strange idioms. Plus we have a myriad of grammar pedants on here who will happily/angrily correct your mistakes. Plus you get to learn a unique subset of the language which is rarely used outside of these boards...

But that's the tittle in the news, that's why I kept it. I'm very picky with apostrophes.
I'm very glad when I get corrections. Not so much when I see everybody is joking about something I write and I can't understand. But then, my boyfriend usually translates for me in those cases.
