"When you learned you native tongue, you didn't need to know all of these. You just learned." Learning your native language is not at all the same task as translating between languages. People who do translation are usually quite knowledgable in questions of grammar. This is particularly true of people who pick up languages later in life. Even if you know multiple languages "natively", it's often difficult to translate accurately without thinking about grammar. Or, for that matter, to speak/write your own language with any degree of competency -- we study grammar in grade school for a reason. |

Parsey McParseface is probably better at grammar than 99% of people.
