Off topic - what about grades?

I'm in the States. I've already graduated from college here. But recently I went for some English class at a community college since English isn't my first language and it needs some improvement. But I'm not put great efforts into it to keep my grades up since I'm done with my four years. My concern is if I ever plan to go for graduate study, would the grade matter then? Do graduate schools ask for all transcripts from all colleges that a student've attended?

[nq:1]Normally we would think a person went through 4-year college would know about English. In my case it isn't so. My grammar and writing are poor.[/nq]

Naah. "Unless" would have been much better. Sometimes a word slips into my writing for no good reason at all. Thank

I know almost nothing about the formalities in the USA, but I would like to offer a little general enouragement. I have met monoglot anglophone graduates whose grammar was not
