    That’s true. But when you write it how it sounds, it looks like OP.

  same intro so often that it ratatats out

    I’m around a lot of ESLs for work, and they make a lot of silly mistakes that are “obvious” to native speakers.

    Most of them are also smarter than me in multiple languages.

    I still use correct punctuation, but I don’t make fun of people for their English anymore.
