Thanks for the clarification, I appreciate it.

In any case, I have deep respect for everyone who learns the mess that’s my native language and nobody should feel bad for making minor mistakes.

As you are no doubt aware, English is renowned for rules that are rules until they aren't, and quite a lot of other ambiguities for non-native speakers, so I can appreciate this.

When I talk to someone who is clearly not a native English speaker, and they apologize for their English I usually point out that their English is way better than my (whatever their language is) since without fail it's not a language I can speak at all. Seems to put people at ease.
