And it should have a full stop at the end! But us native speakers are (mostly) very flexible and forgiving with our own mistakes ;)

"flexible and forgiving" in my case also means that I know much more grammar rules in foreign languages than I do in English (my native language) - and my foreign language grammar is not *that* good...
