Probably not. I used to make that mistake before too, and I don't think anyone ever laughed at me. It sounds a little weird, but I doubt it's "ha-ha funny."

This is about as hard as Upper Intermediate gets (which is why it's relatively short). I think it's time to do some easier "Uppermediate" lessons...

So confusing. Thanks for the clarification. This is definitely not my area of expertise!
