Ok
( Sorry for my English, it’s not my native language and I’m doing my very best too improve each day, with hard work I’m convinced that one day, each and every English speaker will finally understand me, again I’m profoundly sorry, my greatest apologies)
– that one guy that does this shit for every comment he posts
Awesome. I speak French and will use this against the French as they are very snobby about their language and most of them suck at any other but their own.
That was poetic
It’s the truth. Huge props to ESL homies because I sure cant speak a lick of a second language. The people that make fun of ESL homies are losers.
A fucking watermark on a Reddit comment screen shot. Amazing.
The stupid thing about this is that English isn’t the only language FW190A8OP knows (also pretty sure it isn’t their first language either), so it’s not the masterful clap back everyone thinks it is here.
As far as I know, the other guy was Danish or Dutch, or something. But English wasn’t his first language so this insult didn’t really hit
That’s just a popular Gustav Fring meme like word for word
Well, don’t the doors not have locks or doeth they?
Endless bot reposts on this sub
Yeah English is the only language I know fluently. If someone doesn’t speak English well, there is a 100% chance they know more languages than me.
How does this person know they only know one language smh
why is this image AI upscaled
Annihilated. Gone.
Idk why people think this is such a hard line.
No, you speak english because it’s the closest thing we have to a universal language and your schools probably require it.
i’m going with both people are assholes here, they’re on reddit.
There isn’t any excuse to still be this bad at english in 2025. Coming from a non native speaker. Does your doors dont have locks is a brainworm sentence. Argue with a rock.
French Canadians in Canada be like :
I’ve seen this joke used so many times, it’s so bland now.
BOOM
Technically they both speak English because he only speaks English
Does your doors dont have locks?
I see this printed on small signs at a lot of restaurants and shops popular with tourists in Thailand. Love it
💥
Does your doors don’t have locks?
Not an excuse to make such dumb mistakes. That comes from someone whose native language isn’t English.
Well DAMN
I will never forget this quote, an oldie, but so good.
The ability to speak does not make one intelligent
🔥💨
The only good time this meme format was used.
I’m French, was on a call a while ago with anglophone colleagues.
French speaking host asks, in french, if there are no anglophones on the line we may proceed in french?
After a 3 second silence I told him – there are, they just didn’t understand the question.
Most people speak English because England colonizedimperialized the entire planet and it’s become a universal language.
I’d say: You don’t know what you don’t know, but I know because it’s obvious.
I’d don’t fake what I know. You’re right we aren’t the same.
This isn’t rare
If everything on the internet was in a language I was not native in, I would pretty easily pick it up to. It’s hard getting any practice in another language as a native English speaker.
I think about this every time a language barrier is getting in the way at work [we work with international clients]. I try to remember that they’re speaking my language because I can’t speak theirs … it helps.
I hate to be the devils advocate but would you expect everyone in a foreign county to speak English because you do? Seems like a strange argument.
My ex is a Chilean living in the US, and though he has been here a long time his accent is very strong in English–also he is very dyslexic. He is an architect, and sometimes his clients will mock his accent or his grammar. Once he presented a new client with a contract and the homeowners laughed at his grammatical mistakes. He told them, “Next time, hire an English professor for your work, then.” And if his mistakes were corrected in public, he would say, “I can make mistakes in two languages. How about you?” Granted he was a bit unpleasant, but the arrogance of native USians, most of whom are monolingual, is astounding.
We raised our son to be bilingual, which we thought was great. But my work took me to sub-Saharan Africa, and I had my comeuppance once when I was talking to a colleague in South Africa. I said proudly, “My son is bilingual!” and his face was confused/perturbed, like, “Is that supposed to be a good thing?” Only later did I realize that he spoke English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosa, and several local dialects. In fact, there are at least 35 languages spoken in RSA, 12 of which are official languages.
