    This person is not only lying their ass off, but made clear they don’t even speak a second language. Just because you learned colloquial italian or whatever doesn’t mean you actually know a single gramatical rule, or better yet, how that language is written in formal texts, documents etc.

      I know how English is written in formal documents. I don’t know in depth grammar but in general I wouldn’t need to. I just say what sounds correct. Why would an Italian person be unable to do the same?

      edit: To be clear I’m not saying he isn’t lying. He definitely is.
