A secret you may not be aware of: I wish more native writers

took more time to write the same idea.

Yes, there are non-native English users who massacre the

language, but many write far better than a lot of native users. I

saw this in university where I would hear complaints from fellow

students about why should they have to take English, that they

already know it. I would then read some of their written work. Such

often had many errors and a lack of clarity, but the author thought

it was just fine.

Sincerely,
