<p>^ Excuse me for not being clear. You made this statement: “I’m not sure exactly what you are attempting to articulate here. English may not be your first language.”
This sounds like you’re making the assumption that just because someone may be not able to “articulate” well, he or she is not a native English speaker. I think you would agree with me that there are MANY native speakers in the United States who cannot articulate well, or even surpass the level of some non-native speakers. If anyone “generalized” anything, it would be you. Everyone makes typographical errors, including native speakers, believe it or not. Are you going to call them all out and ask if English is their second language? Your statement shows ignorance, and it’s a bit irritating that you don’t seem the least bit remorseful for saying something that WOULD offend others, whether or not you meant to do so. One last thing - the statement you made was just a ridiculous comeback that had no relevance whatsoever to the debate that was happening. And pardon me for calling it stupid, because it was. Why would you attack another person’s English skills if everything else they’ve written was completely understandable? That was OBVIOUSLY a typographical error, and any other sensible person would have left it at that to avoid looking foolish rather than to use it as a dagger.</p>
