>>73874418Perhaps it's difficult to sympathize with for ESLs whose native tongues lack the concept of case and other English/European grammatical concepts, but when sub-fluent foreigners do a poor job of following the more subtle, particular conventions of my language, it genuinely throws me off. With fluent speakers who habitually follow these rules and conventions without even thinking about it (adjusting for context of course, like in 4chan there are certain rules you are supposed to invert - no Reddit spacing and no ending paragraphs with periods, for example), I can fluently draw out the speaker's intended meaning without having to put any conscious thought into it whatsoever. On the other hand, if they *don't* follow those rules despite the fact that I am naturally expecting them to, it disrupts my brain's attempts to parse the words I'm reading into a meaningful message I can actually understand
It is especially aggravating when they do so out of laziness and a blatant lack of respect for their cultural superiors by treating the language like it's supposed to be some mechanical, minimalistic utilitarian *tool* with no room for aesthetic, shibboleth or sovl - despite the fact that the latter function, if anything, is actually even more important than the former
