Because I put it in quotes.
And because "I always did it like this" isn't a reasoning that helps in discussions.

Why did you put it in quotes? Were you implying that my reasoning is inferior than yours? Isn't that offensive? Please reconsider your language.

It is, IMO. I'm not a neurologist. Are you? I'm not a expert in how people learn languages and how learning secondary languages isn't as easy as learning a mother tongue. But it is common knowledge that one can speak much better their mother tongue than languages learned after it. It should be those that argue the opposite, who should justify.

Or should I take at face value that I learnt the wrong language, and that somehow learning a different one will magically make me write better *without regressions*? What if it doesn't? And why should I trust you?

Okay. You don't need to. Just asking me to not talk to you would work just fine. I won't, from now on. I won't block you, though.
