Would anybody like to contribute to – or simply read – a topic that posts a daily bit of information about proper English. For many posters, English is a second – or third, fourth or fifth – language, and it shows in the English mistakes they make in their posts. English is my first language. I learned more Yiddish from the Borscht Belt comedians on TV than from my parents and grandparents, and I can read a siddur and daven in Hebrew, but when I visit Israel, I cannot read a menu or the labels on the products in supermarkets.

The first sentence should end with a question mark rather than a period.
The fourth sentence is a run-on sentence and overuses commas.
