A lot of native English speaking people don’t seem to understand that the grand majority of the world doesn’t have English as a native language, and while it is a known phenomenon, it’s still quite sad when a perfectly well formulated and understood message is replied with “learn basic grammar”

Wonder how they fare in any large town or tourist destination where the grand majority are foreigners that speak with accents and broken grammar 🤔

Or just going around the US with different accents and language patterns.

"Wooter" for water, "warsh" for wash, hell, let's take a trip to Appalachia, that would probably send M137 into a tizzy!
