[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going to hospital.[/quote] Got a call from a friend who is a no native speaker who said “sorry I missed you. I’m in the hospital.” I said “oh no, what happened?” She said “My aunt is sick!” I said “Friend, you are AT the hospital!” [/quote] I am not a native speaker, like your friend, and I find your corrections extremely annoying. They won't be your friend for long if you keep talking down to them like this. Perhaps, learn their native language and see how you do with such fine nuances.[/quote] But are you not interested in learning the quirks of language in America? "I'm in the hospital" does in fact mean you are sick or injured. If you don't want to learn, are you ok with misrepresentating yourself? [/quote] It becomes more important if you were to say you were in jail versus at jail...[/quote]
