Never had to struggle to learn English ... I was born and raised in England. But I did have to re-learn a few words and terms when I landed in Canada ... pronunciation was different too: Canadians pronounce "Ottawa" without pronouncing a single "t" ... "Oddawa" ...
Have to be careful sometimes too ... if you ask someone for a "rubber" instead of an "eraser", you might be handed a condom.
And, to keep on topic, "of" instead of "have" is quite common here.
Oh, and Sugarmouse, it is "If it were typed like that" ...
Ah, the subjunctive
