If I have a REAL problem with English, that's fine, it's not my mother-tongue, and it'll never reach that level, but unless you explain to me why I'm wrong, you're delirious!
So for someone that speaks only one language "fluently", you're having a big problem grasping what I'm saying, and obviously a big problem with the word "owned", because I have yet to see you own me! I feel bad for you...

Theoretical Linguistics major here. I don't know who started this strange controversial conversation on who says something wrong, I don't think it's really important to discuss oblique cases (in the sense, etc.) in a grammatically analytical language like English. Unless if you talk in passive sentences all the way in an exceptional situation. Oblique cases only contribute minor nuances in a very casual discussion we have here.
And now, back to sports.
