When I lived abroad, I would sometimes joke there are 3 kinds of people: Trilinguals, Bilinguals, and Americans
It's truly amazing how many people around the world know more than one language, I am bit envious at times.
Do programming languages count? /s

well they didn't invent that joke. Its well known in the language learning world. In either case outside of English speaking countries its often seen as embarrassing to not know English past a certain age, or at least it is in my country.

Since this is a Grammar Nazi thread, and you are the self-appointed lead Grammar Nazi, I'm going to politely point out that in the above quote both "its" should read "it's", the contraction for "it is."
Also, where is this magical language learning world you speak of? What is the mother tongue there?

He also forgot to capitalize the first letter, of the first sentence.
I guess we're Nazi Nazis.

The language learning world is simply a reference to any place language learners unite and discuss language learning. We often marvel at each other's highly different grammatical structures, or exchange cool phrases that simplify complex thoughts. The language we speak to each other is of course English. In most countries every educated person speaks English very well. In my country in order to get into college you need to have higher levels of English than her's. It's actually really not uncommon to mock another person's abilities, but it's on the sole condition they get too high and mighty about their own limits. In my case I can certainly take a college level course in English, which is exactly where every language learner stops spending time learning, unless of course they have a higher need. For example politician's may want to sound like an above average educated English speaker. In u/snow 's case she of course is no where near completing a class in college, the reason I have gracefully offered to help her learn more is because she wants to study incels. Unfortunately she believe's she's in a position to give opinions on our language speaking abilities (she doesn't understand celibacy can be voluntary, and thinks involuntarily black sounds just as dumb even though it's redundant.) She is in a great position to just ask questions, there are new mods who might unban her conditionally, the old one's were nazis. She just isn't ready to give any opinions just yet.
