Just checking, is asking questions to people normal American English? (I would ask questions of people, or just ask people questions.) Ref: judaism.stackexchange.com/q/48260/581. (The second sentence also has the pronoun changing: one ... he, but I've been told that that's acceptable in AmE.)

@TRiG Yes, AFAIK. And, English Language & Usage?

@Scimonster I asked the question here because I was thinking of editing the post. I'll leave it alone.

@IsaacMoses It could be that my grammar standards are more lax than yours.

Especially with prepositions.

@Scimonster I'm describing my sense of correctness, not asserting a standard.

Highly likely, in fact. :P

@Scimonster Speaking lots of Hebrew can change for you your sense of prepositions :)

Also it can change that, also it can cause you to repeat certain words that we don't repeat in English.

@IsaacMoses That's one thing i don't do. One of the downsides to homeschooling... In fact, because of the way i often place a preposition at the end of a sentence, it ends up getting pretty awkward in Hebrew.

@Scimonster Is your homeschooling taught in English?

@IsaacMoses Yeah.

@Scimonster Interesting. Do you speak Hebrew fluently?

@IsaacMoses Not that fluent. It's definitely improved over the past few years, but i'm nowhere near a native speaker.

My comprehension is better than my speech though.

@Scimonster Stands to reason.

Example sentence that i bungle: "Who are you talking to?" "מי אתה מדבר עם..." and then realize that the עם goes at the beginning... Of course, if i used "proper"/"old-fashioned" English grammar that wouldn't be such a problem.

@Scimonster Do you do any writing in Hebrew? That could help train your instincts

@IsaacMoses No, not really.

Are there any new jersey residents here? Any insight on how reliable the NJ transit express buses are to new york during rush period?

In particular from Passaic?

@Daniel I think @MonicaCellio might be in NJ.

@Scimonster Nope

@Daniel You might get more mileage out of asking somewhere like reddit.com/r/newjersey ... or maybe Travel

@Daniel Here are users who say they're in NJ

... And Here for Jersey

@Scimonster nope, sorry. I've been to New Jersey, but know nothing of their transit system.

@Daniel It has been a while since I used them, but they were reliable in my experience.
