Could you pass for a native english speaker? (3 Viewers)

And I mean that online, purely by typing. So no accent etc...

I think I could in theory pass for one. Although there are quite a few persistent spelling mistakes I tend to make. Thankfully I have a plugin on my web browser that does its best to check my spelling so it is getting less and less.... So I think these days I could pass for one easily!

Hbu, fellow non-native english speakers.

My typing/writing in English is much better than my spoken English. Whenever I have to speak i have blackouts and can't remember words. IDK if I could actually pass for a native speaker tho.

 

[honeyfornomoney]

Yeah, I guess. People have told me before that they thought I was from the USA or another English speaking country lol

 

[Ahsoka]

Yes

Highly doubt so, native speakers that I know use a lot of idioms and sayings that are mostly known within their language. Sometimes I also make grammar errors or dictation mistakes.

We are talking only about typing though.
When speaking I can't pass for native either, but when typing.... I have a bit more time and opportunity to think about how to word things.

 

[Jimimis]

I can pass as non native because I dumb

 

[Myco]

lmfao same.

I've had 2 people ask me for direction and believe me when I tell you, I doubt they understand anything.
I was like "Yeah go down there then right then, wait no its actually up there on that building i forgot the name of and then turn right, no turn left to the other street i forgot the name of."

I was talking about chatting as well, for example I see this friend use lots of idioms when typing. Actually I think while talking, I can easily imitate the valley girl accent , however it consumes so much of my energy so I let it be most of the time.

I really don't know. Sometimes my mind is a mess and it can get obvious with the way I write. My thoughts are just all over the place. Literally.

 

[RainbowDevil]

I already have, multiple times Piece of cake

 

[Willow]

Absolutely not

 

[Tickita]

[TRAUMATHON]

[Panda]
