Comment on It's amazing so many people are able to use English as a second language.

  I use tho instead of though as a native, although I think I might only actually do it at the end of sentences, tho. I’m not actually sure I use though during a sentence

  I was raised bilingual, and spent most of my life in the UK

    Me too!

    Sounded out of place after “theoretically” tho

      I agree, although I would’nt’ve noticed they weren’t a native if they didn’t mention it

    it’s normal for natives to use “tho” in place of “though” but it’s a pretty casual way of writing it that, to me at least, seems quite out of place with the rest of the comment

  American English is not the only native English
