We make this distinction, just in case somebody becomes confused as to that "other" English being spoken, far to the West at about -7to -12GMT, if you catch my drift. We get brain freeze when we see words like u instead of you, but of cause we also sneeze severely when colour becomes color and so on. We are really amicable, well, most of the time so please forgive us.

and of course if she understands this then she really shouldn't have any problems with the other post lol

Especially regarding tense. I constantly have to clarify between
- WILL HAPPEN
- HAS HAPPENED
- MIGHT HAPPEN

Added by Maiden.

surely you should just say Inshaalah


Then that means - it will never happen....

Not meaning to criticise anyone, especially you, but English is a dumb language :-))

As you could have said:-

"my mind was elsewhere"
Or
"I was on another planet"
Or
"I was in my own little world"
Or
"I was in cloud cuckoo land"

See, dumb
