Can You Really Speak Like a Native If You Learn a Language After Age Seven?
I’ve heard that if you learn a language after you turn seven, you can’t really sound like a native speaker. Do you think that’s true?

Off or down?

Made Fun of For Using Grammar (Not Joking)
Just today, someone made fun of me for using grammar in-game chat and on Discord. I couldn't really make sense of this since it doesn't make any sense to me. I am not a native speaker of English; English is my second language, but now it is the only language I communicate in. After being made fun of, I tried to make sense of why I "chose" to type with proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. And I tried rationalizing it like this: In high school and college, I wrote many essays and always got B+ and A's on those essays. So after many years of writing essays for school, I've gotten more used to typing in proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. This is not exactly an isolated incident since even then, the people I communicated with asked me why I typed in proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. Is this just me????????????

How often do Americans use the stucture adjective + though + noun/pronoun + verb?

To me, this structure seems strange (the first example on the screen) since I haven't seen anyone on the Internet use it. Do Americans use it from time to time?
Is “enormous sound” wrong?
