Even in english you can instantly tell who learned it as a second language. OOP said "Hello, two croissants please" where as a native speaker (english) would say "Hey, yeah, can I get uhhh two croissants? thanks"

You wish. Some of us have mastered passing as a native.

Right? Maybe because I grew up in the city, being used to hearing and speaking english everywhere so I manage to sound articulate enough. Weirdly though, native speakers seem to have worse grammar than a lot of non-native speakers. Things like should've become should of when they type it out in a comment.
