French citizens fail language tests for foreigners seeking residency
Native speakers found to struggle with exams coming in under stricter rules for those who want to stay in country

Finally proving to the world that even the French can't write French properly.
Native Germans don't care about declensions.
Native Dutch people can't do -d or -t in their verbs.
Native English speakers can't keep "their" and "they're" apart.
We all just suck
Yeah - you can spot people who learned german as a second language mostly by their totally correct usage of the german language. Nobody who grew up speaking german would ever think about speaking like that.
Maybe we don’t all suck and language and grammar are arbitrary social constructs and treating them as immutable rules forgets the main point which is to convey meaning, not stick to traditions.
Amusingly, I'm a native English speaker who can keep their and they're apart. I'm not English though. I'm American.
Fuck you Brits. I can say "y'all" and while also properly separating "there", "their" and "they're" (it's a subtle difference but I can feel the difference in the way I pronounce them).
Git rekt.
Edit: I'm being a silly, dumbass USAmeri-cunt because it helps me cope with reality (please help ;~;). That said, I absolutely do occasionally seperate the pronunciation of there, their, and they're; but it also tends to be context-sensitive.
Oh, where from America are you? Argentina? Bolivia? Canada?
Jokes aside, I met enough 'muricans online who can't differentiate between "there", "their" and "they're". And even worse, every single person I read "would of" from was from the US.
The US (please help, I'm being a silly, dumbass americunt to cope ;~;)
God, I fucking love "would of". It's so horrid.
Le suq le coq
See? Easy.
