    But keep in mind that native speakers might have an even worse understanding of grammar than foreigners: most locals speak intuitively and never care to actually study their native language.

      Yeah, but I count being able to communicate with natives a W. Even if it’s not gramatically 100% correct.

        I never stated that it is useless. I said that natives might say the total bullshit and do that with a poker-face being absolutely sure of their correctness.
