No, it �s probably a "typo".

I would tend to think that we would say � �I found this sentence on a site. � �

alien boy

I don �t like it either...

it should be:

Mistakes in our spoken English

or

Our mistakes in spoken English

or

Spoken mistakes in English

or

Spoken mistakes in our English

... depending on the context.

Mistakes in our Spoken English

or the other choices given by Alien boy

totya ( F )

Thank you eng789 and alien boy.

Thanks Giovanni. You are right.

Our requires a noun to come right after it usually. Also, it is using two prepositions. Spoken is being used as an adjective and needs to go right before English.

I do agree with alien boy

well, it depends on the writer, if he wasn �t that good in the language then it �s an error

if he was then it �s a mistake

there �s a big difference between errors and mistakes right ? ;)

- having the right idea but performing it wrongly = mistake

- having the wrong idea and so the performance went wrong too = error

otherwise, it would be a mistake made while typing friend :P
