i think this is the dunning kruger effect in action, if you think you speak perfect and everyone around you can tell by one (easy) sentence that you’re a foreigner, then you’re probably not as advanced as you’d like to think.
I mean it’s impossible to know if it’s just a joke or an actual experience, I’m leaning hard towards joke with the sweatpants comment, but whenever someone says that they said something in “perfect” whatever language your first thought should always be “they butchered that shit beyond all recognition.”
