What is? A 'learning'?

If it's uncountable why do people pluralise it?

I have no use of that word where 'lesson' would not suffice and sound infinitely more elegant.

'Learnings' is one of the ugliest bits of pseudo-English I've encountered.

I call it a mobile... and everyone else I know calls it that too at least that was in the "United of Kingdom"... I believe some call it the "Ph-izz-one", you "ge-zz-t me"?...

sensible = sensitive

I once had a dentist who told me my teeth were sensible.

And why do some German speakers insist on saying "walley"? (As in "Later, we will ski down into the walley")

I hear plenty of both from Swiss people in Basel, and Natel isn't exactly an English word - which I thought was the topic of this thread.

Inappropriate use of "the".

And some of our very own EF people: furnitures, stuffs ...drives me mad, mad I say!

BTW: my former boss used to end every single sentence with ...or? (as in German Oder?)

When they enter a room with people " Hello all together" instead of "Hello every one"

Nothing to do with the Swiss, but I have a spanish customer who always says "dude" meaning a problem... I have a dude... Can anyone explain this one????

(I have da doubt) = dudo?

Dude mean problem as bla bla bla bla mean lot of talk ....

Pacific, often used instead of specific.

Can you be more pacific ?

English people in London seem to do this a lot. I thought I had escaped it but no someone (English) at work does it too.

Some english words ARE confusing!

Remind = Remember: I always have to think twice.

Beard = Bird: I just can't pronounce it. Used to tell my bf 'Ouch, you're growing a bird on your face!'

I've got a question for the native speakers: is it 1 person, 2 people or 1 person, 2 persons?

Both, it depends on the specific context. People is more common though so best to use it when in doubt.

Before we lambast the Swiss for mis-using our language, best we take a look in the mirror 1st...

would of?

there, they're, their?

I could care less?

(not most people here of course, but English speakers in general)

(Slide) Projector

You will never forget the name of the sticky white paper rings to reinforce loose pages in a file, "Eisbär Arschlöcher" ... sorry, a bit rude!

Explain please

When did the plural of roof become roofs?

Let's not forget that English is not the easiest language in the world. It's about the only language that I know of that there is an exception for EVERY rule. So are they really rules? I before E, except after C. What kind of rule is that?

And don't get me started on words having more than one meaning with the same exact same spelling. "You would desert (leave) your desert (pudding) in the desert (barren waste land) for a glass of cold water." Madness I tell you, madness!

Pudding is spelled (spelt?) dessert, and I'm sure that desert (verb) and desert (noun) derive from the same root ie abandoned, wasteland etc (though I may be wrong).
