Re: Thinking too hard about this
Yeah. She definitely has some funky syntaxical problems that scan, to me, as NNS or ELL. I'd like to know how much of the travelling she did occurred when she was younger, and whether or not her parents, despite only her mother being Greek, primarily spoke Greek in her home as a child.
What's frustrating, is that since she considers English her first language, she is completely oblivious, and almost...in militant denial about her syntaxical fuckery and grammatical misunderstandings. I mean Jesus. That girl has more squinting modifiers than I've ever seen...
Erm...tl;dr: I am a writing tutor who has studied non-native speakers and I just over-thought with you.
