Thank you for sharing, as someone who learned English as second language I now and then get confused when hearing people speak (I like to think I am doing ok in reading).

@Ponderable

You do very well, Pondy. Your entries in the annual prose contest are proof of that.

I've seen and heard you operate in both English and German environments, and I would say you're doing just fine in both verbal and written communication, apart from the occasional idiom of course. Your fat fingers and autocorrect don't help your keyboarding though. 😉

As a monolingual Australian I can only stand in awe.
