I'm Sure we Sound even Stupider than we Think

Every once in a while we'll be doing an exercise in class and i'll think about what it would sound like if we were learning english.
It's not pretty. 

Ex:
me: "I has eat eggy"
professor: "you has?"
me: "i mean, i have eat eggy"
professor: "sure, go with that"

me: "those pants look nice on you."
other student: "yes, these pants do look nice on me"*

me: "i have loved hot cereals the mostest"
professor: "you may want to work on your adjectival endings"
me: "oh sorry, i mean, i have loved hottly cereals the most mostlyish."

god forbid we start using idiomatic expressions.

*actual conversation the textbook made us have
