English learners, relax. English is a mess because it's supple. 3/4 of speakers are non-native, and it grows organically, morphing rapidly with practical use. Yes, we have pedants but they have no teeth! There's no Academy and no one official gatekeeper. You are free to make errors, innovate, bend rules. As long as we can understand, it's all good. If you say, "Me angry sandwich," I'm gonna figure it out and point you to a cafe. We are used to interpolating. Dive in. Practice is how to learn.
