Thanks. You're right, my mistake, but I can't remove it.

I deleted it.
Thank you for the proverb "Pomyłka to rzecz ludzka"
Pomyłka = error/mistake
To = is/this (followed by nominative)
Rzecz (f) = thing
Ludzki/a = human
Word by word translation: error is a human thing
(the old latin: errare humanum est)
Native / using / learning / once learnt / trying to understand at least a bit
A fun fact:
Rzecz ludzka = human thing
Rzeczpospolita = people's thing = republic
Rzeczpospolita Ludowa = people's people's thing = people's republic (R.I.P.)
... for those interested, I have some more "rzeczy" (things) here, i.e. quotes and sayings.
Truly living is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.
~ Oscar Wilde
The most important rzeczą (thing) is to enjoy your life - to be happy - that's all that matters.
~ Audrey Hepburn
There is only one rzecz(thing) that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.
~ Paulo Coelho
błądzić jest "rzeczą" ludzką (źródło powstawania problemów jest rozmaite – nieuwaga, lekkomyślność, przemęczenie, stres itp.)
to err is human (the sources of problems are various - inattention, recklessness, fatigue, stress, etc.)
