    Yeah, I’m also going to guess the original writer speaks more than one language, English not being their first, which is most likely more than the second person could say.

    As someone learning a second language (French), this sort of thing is what makes me so nervous to actually use what I’ve learned…

      As someone who learned English as a second language and French as a third, I promise you, most people are not assholes like this. Most people are happy to hear you try and happy to help. If they’re rude, they’re just assholes and that’s a reflection on them as a person and not on your skills.
