    Why does this read like english is this persons 2nd language, but look like it was made by someone for whom english is infact their 1st language?

      Not making light, but this person’s first language is likely schizophrenia.

      At my high school a noticable number of students could barely read. They got passed through from a combination of parents trying to fire people if their kid is held back and teachers who either didn’t care or couldn’t spend the one on one time to help the kid. There was no functional system in place at my school to help kids who were borderline illiterate

      Depending where this is, between that and possible mental health stuff English could be their first language

        It’s tragic because a lot of these people aren’t just missing competent literacy but all the skills required to understand the world around them, and even worse often those ways of understanding have been replaced with religious nonsense by the people that raised them.

        Imagine trying to make sense of the world when you think scientists work like preachers and prophets simply saying whatever feels right or suits the moment.
