Law / Poland three year residency [30]
yes all of those languages have an academy which 'maintains standards' and decides which new words will be allowed or not.
As you know of course, there is no such academy for English and that is one of its strengths as a world language. It is endlessly flexible and constantly changing. For example (as I am sure you know) the way that you can make a new verb out of a noun is quite an English thing.
English being the world language has only benefited us native speakers L., (whether for work teaching it, or allowing us to travel easily) so spluttering about 'cess pools' just sounds a bit silly.

the problem with 'standardised tests' is that they don't really work, as language fluency is not quantifiable.
I don't really see the problem with those 'errors' - people in a native and non native situation would understand them.
Do you mean there should be a test of incorrect English?

Law / Trying to get visitation and partial custody of my son in Poland. (Fathers rights?) [12]
well maybe you should know there is no such thing as 'fathers rights' (or mother's rights) - it is the child who has rights - you have responsibilities.
In addition there is no such thing as 'custody' - your child is not a criminal. It is highly unlikely that any family court would award residence to someone who does not live in the same country, or someone who was not married to the mother.
Sorry to sound harsh, but the words 'rights' and 'custody' in this situation really get on my nerves.
