An acquaintance of mine´s wife is in the hospital. I recently inquired about her health and got back the following text message in Spanish: "todo sigue igual le pusieron catéter y el riñón a mejorado y siguen haciéndola análisis empezará comer y haber que tal le sienta gracias." I am not trying to make fun in any way. I aim to warn about the linguistic abilities of the average native speaker and that being monolingual, 80 years old, and even well-read, means little about the command one might have of his language. Being a native speaker does not mean having a good language knowledge.
