    I think the important takeaway of this meme is that native speakers have mastered the language in the way it wants to be spoken, but non-natives need to master formal language first to really understand casual use fully

    I feel it as an autistic person, because even though English is my first language, I still feel like a foreigner learning a second

    Both styles are valid

    TL;DR: lol it okay

      You don’t like it when you sincerely communicate nuance and are met with silent rejection? Only drug users ramble in such a manner. Don’t be so sensitive. The twelve steps are here if you want them. /s

    Top guy: least coherent German writing English.

    Bottom guy: most coherent native English speaker in a CoD lobby.
