    On the other hand, if we had not saved daylight we would have probably ran out by now.

          A lot of people have started using simple past tense for all perfect tenses lately, but I don’t like change, dangit.

            Yeah I mostly learned English watching Cartoon Network, when it wasn’t with subtitles or dubbed. They basically started airing in the Netherlands and an entire generation learned English by watching cartoons after school.

            This is now repeating with YouTube and teens watching a lot of English youtubers.

            I miss those days, Dexter’s laboratory, Dragonball Z, two stupid dogs…
