Jeez, turn low the pedantic levels a bit, kid.

That is how languages work.

Rich coming from an american, nationality worldwide famous for not learning foreign languages.

Mocking my english is even funnier, considering i never studied in english school, never went abroad and had almost no contact with visiting foreigners, all that because i don't have the money and our economy sucks. And yet, my english is much better than your second language, and very likely my Italian, Spanish and Chinese are better than your 3rd, 4th and 5th. So chill tf down.

Go to any country and you'll learn how they use their language often differs from how it is portrayed in textbooks.

Check out the big brain on Brett. That's obvious. I'm not talking about casual use of language vs formal use, and how teaching institutions don't approach this discrepancy as good as they should. I'm talking about large groups of people within your country butchering your own grammar (intentionally) and fighting to do so. And if you even mention that cultural shock or interesting point, you are called racist.

I don't even know why i'm writing all this, you clearly have no intention to learn different perspectives or learn. Just go on believing whatever you want, chap.
