    You realize that I never said that I would correct people’s English, right? You realize that I have a mother tongue, right? Maybe you shouldn’t be so arrogant and complain about dumbing down shit when you don’t understand that non-native English speakers have a mother tongue. Also societal context??? Dude, you understand that societal context is dependent on the situation. If I am exposed to something as a non native speaker on e.g. the internet, that something doesn’t exclusive exist in the societal context that the author might intended it to be. And also if I am a non native speaker but I live in the country for 45years that my understanding of the societal context could easily be equal or better than a native speaker’s understanding, as e.g. I was able to contrast the 2 contexts that I am familiar with and that might exposes social notions that a native speaker is not actively aware of. What I am trying to express, your response seem to be pretty dumbed down.
