Couple of things I've done pretty well with over the years. English is one of them, although the placement of the word "with" in the last sentence is not evidence of same. My style in general belies my knowledge of English rules. Nevertheless it's true that I can "sense" when something is wrong in a written text.
Take John 5:39, for example. Raised on the Old King James, I had it drilled into me that we are commanded to study the Bible, that is, "Search the Scriptures." I knew the rest of the sentence didn't seem to fit grammatically, but I assumed that was a KJV problem. Lot o' stuff sounded funny to a 20th century reader.
"Search the Scriptures because in them you think you have eternal life..." Hmmm. What's wrong with this picture? How
can I make it sound right? Then I learned there was another language before English. More than one, they tell me now. Place over in the Mediterranean known as Greece. That always got me laughing, too. 'Specially when they included Turkey in the sentence. Add Hungary, and we're all howling. Little kids, you know.

Anyway, in this Greece they had a language. And this language, like English, had rules. The rule in Greek about situations like this was that the 2nd person singular, "You search," has the same Greek ending as the command form, "Search!" No way to tell which of these words is to be used except by context.

You'd think the old KJV guys would have figured out the context, right? They didn't. And all my young years, I lived with the impression that if I would search the Scriptures, I'd find eternal life. Wrong.
