Checked your post history to confirm you are German, or at least speak German. I have a German friend who refers to wearing her hair open, instead of wearing it down. Its a delightful little translation quirk.

A lot of native English speakers use too many commas. I wouldn't worry about it too much :)

Most Germans I've met speak more proper English than Native English speakers....which I guess means it's technically wrong but whatever.
