Do you think you have trouble with English because it isn't your first language?
Guess what? Welcome to the club! (meaning: everyone has this problem/issue) Native English speakers mangle (meaning: destroy) English all the time.
A recently published book titled, 100 Words Almost Everyone Mixes Up Or Mangles lists words that Americans constantly confuse.
Compare you knowledge to a Native English speaker's knowledge by testing yourself with 7 entries from this book!
Did you ace (meaning: score a perfect 100%/do really well) those entries? Then feast your eyes (meaning: check out) upon the entire list of words.
So how did you do? :D
