Well thats where you see the difference between learning/studying Japanese and growing up with it.
I, too, have grown up with it so I'm rather bad at formal speech. And my writing/reading skills are that of 1st/2nd grader in Japan...

But still, I went to Japanese classes for 1 semester and they thought us both forms of "Sumimasen" (Sumimasen and Suimasen).

I sort of feel bad for being in the class, but at the same time I don't want to be in a weird "in between" position (of knowing and not knowing Japanese).
