I think the important takeaway of this meme is that native speakers have mastered the language in the way it wants to be spoken, but non-natives need to master formal language first to really understand casual use fully

I feel it as an autistic person, because even though English is my first language, I still feel like a foreigner learning a second

Both styles are valid

TL;DR: lol it okay

That is one of the messages, but you missed the main point. Native English speakers are ripped Chads, and non-natives are wimpy girly-men.

Well, Americans do weigh more on average...

I think Mexico has taken top spot

I need to find myself some non-native English speakers 😋

Native English speaker, can confirm.

You don't like it when you sincerely communicate nuance and are met with silent rejection? Only drug users ramble in such a manner. Don't be so sensitive. The twelve steps are here if you want them. /s
