    Non-native speaker? interesting, now you’re using complete sentences, making a coherent statement, and speaking perfect English.

      When you’re someone who wasn’t initially raised with English in mind, you can still speak it substantially, but that doesn’t mean it comes naturally in the way it does for most people. I simply tried again and seemed to speak pleasingly the second time, it doesn’t mean I’m revealing innate skills. I don’t suppose I’m the only individual in this particularly multicultural place we call Lemmy you’ve encountered whose family didn’t specialize in English, am I?
