Grammar Differences

Since I am Scott's seminary teacher, I've had to e-mail the seminary coordinator here in Italy. He's a very nice Italian man who speaks English very well (I've talked to him once on the phone). He also writes very well in English.

One thing I think is funny is that he often uses the contraction "it'll" in his e-mails. I know we often say "it'll" instead of "it will", but I don't think I ever see that contraction written anywhere. I guess those are the differences you find when you learn English in America or learn it somewhere else as a second language.

Of course, the fact that he knows a second language pretty fluently puts him so far ahead of me!
