I had this thought when I have made a very stupid mistake. I spelled ad (like advertisement) with two d.
Are you sometimes annoyed by stupid mistakes like that? Maybe this question could also be aksed to highly skilled English speakers who are not necessarily native speakers.
Maybe I am just an arrogant fault-finder but I am not sure how I would react when we all would write in my native language. I might would be scared that this decreased my language skills. Yeah I was bullied a lot when I was a teenager for making stupid grammar mistakes this really shaped me.
Probably noone really cares about that. But I am not 100% sure. I am sometimes jealous of English native speakers. So many people from all over the world need to learn your language in order to be educated. I personally wish I had better English skills in order to listen to David Foster Wallace stories on English and understanding everything. But even when I read him in my native language I need to look up like 3-4 technical terms in order to understand him fully. My listening comprehension skills always were only average. Most times it is enough to have conversations but I struggle a lot to understand for example lyrics of music songs.
