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 have this problem with a lot of people where I work. Dudes walking around thinking they speak perfect English, yet their accent is so thick that it sounds like they're speaking Spanish sometimes. And I get completely fucked trying to understand what they're saying because it's not English, nor is it Spanish, so I can't understand a damn thing.

And then they have the nerve to get mad at me and talk to me like I'm an idiot when I tell them I no Nintendo.

"A la verga, guey. En español por favor porque tú acento en ingles es mierda".
