Your points B and C are so right, btw! As a native English speaker, I can’t speak any second language nearly as well as most non-native English speaking EAs. I’m super impressed with all of you, and far from thinking you’re stupid or slow, interacting with you makes me feel stupid because I couldn’t discuss highly technical things in French, Spanish, German, Italian, Mandarin...
