As for joined up words. That's because my mind doesn't work the same way as other Dutch people's minds work when it comes to English. I think in English most of the time, and only use Dutch when I can't (immediately) find the right English word, or when I'm distracted, like I was with the spare key comment. My English grammar, therefore, is a lot better than my Dutch grammar. Always has been.
People who know me don't have a problem with it (most of the time), but people who don't know me are often quite annoyed when I change into English mid-sentence. (specially the ones who don't really understand it ... I didn't know those still existed)
