This even happens to me in my native language
People need to watch more english things in english. Synchronisation is bad.
I usually try to misinterpret my sentences as hard as possible before posting.
It also works for program comments, I don’t know how the fuck some text can seem to be almost perfect one moment and be totally useless garbage next time I find it.

Pls elaborate, what types of challenging texts, some examples pls.
For me it was Bad Religion lyrics. 13 year old me would sit down in front of the CD player, booklet in one hand, dictionary in the other. Greg Graffin uses an obscene amount of vocabulary that I haven’t encountered anywhere else.
One example:
The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep. The vortex of their minds ensconced within the murky deep
I bet you would like Aesop Rock
Yeah, insane. And he sings those lines so easily like it was just basic stuff.
Try The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s pretty cool and has some very complex sentences
“I have found that reading challenging texts aloud has helped me improve my writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills. Some people may mock me for it, but I’ve discovered that it enhances my active vocabulary more quickly than any other method I’ve tried on my own.”
I’ve made some revisions so that English speakers can better understand your text.
Totally unnecessary, and bizarrely patronising.
If anybody was struggling to understand that comment then they are not an English speaker…
He’s not looking to be published, he’s just trying to communicate, and doing so very effectively.
Straight up facts right there
I’ll never forget when I worked in fast food and my coworker from Guatemala asked me, “Can you settle a bet between Jorge and I? You speak English like a second language, what’s your first language?”
English is my first language.
Jorge won that bet.

I verily say that thou’s’t I speaketh well, I writeth better.
It’s okay buddy, you’ll get over that lisp!
Speaking was one of my weakest skills, so I started streaming. I speak way smoother now.

I’m a swede with fully swedish parents, and I have always lived here, but I’ve always sucked at Swedish, both spelling and vocabulary.
But I’m way better at English, I often use English words because I can’t remember or simply don’t know the Swedish equivalent, and sometimes I just give up and fully use English for whatever I’m trying to explain. I wouldn’t say I’m great at grammar overall, but I’m above average based on how bad most people are.
