      Sorry, non-native-speaker here. You asked if anyone can do something with certain details. I was trying to say you can never rule out the possibility based on resources. I have a lot of experience being on the receiving end of this, the links being there as a recently relevant relic of that notion.

        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?
