Does it ever bother anyone else that people who say, "Sorry if you couldn't
understand, English isn't my first language," often speak more coherently
than about 70 -80% of the people whose first language it is? I mean, I meet
people who have been speaking English their entire lives, and I guess its
just degraded from over use. For all of those people out there who think
they aren't being understood, don't worry about it, chances are you get your
points across more clearly than we naturals do :)
