        You were quite right, but surely using "words that aren't" should count as evidence that a person *is* a native speaker. 🙂

        He says English isn't your first language? You can see what he tried to imply there. That's ruder than his illiterate self-pwn.

        Jeez these Twitter trolls are brutal when it comes to proper word usage aren't they? (Though that was an inept usage of inapt) ; )

        Something is wrong when @MerriamWebster is suggesting inept as a synonym of inapt.
