Does anyone here have foreigner moms whose English isn't perfect, so they say a grammar mistake that comes out hilarious? My mom is Chinese and her English is pretty good, but frequently her English is like "get off the car" instead of saying "get out of the car," etc. It's something that you'll find hilarious.

I live in a family of grammar nazis. I too am a grammar nazi.

You were born and placed here without choice. In futility, your mind rapidly tries to accept this world, and all of its pain and misery.
I am here to give you a choice.

My mom...
Can't really say the "sp" sound without changing it to "esp"... Like, "Do you espeak espanol?"
She changes the "ch" to the "sh" sound, so "cheese" sounds like "sheeze."
The "j" sound she makes it to a "y." So she will say, "Yambo yack" instead of "Jumbo Jack."
The b's become v's or vise vera. So, "Obviously." Becomes, "Oviously."

Not racist...
