I got blocked for correcting this person’s post

Please don’t

pretend to be fluent in English, it is deceiving and it could seriously harm someone else’s learning experience

@jenny @Aya my issue with this person is that on their profile they claim to be fluent in the English language, yet when I scrolled through their posts, around 80% of them were just structurally wrong. It was almost as if they just decided to google translate everything This is an issue because some people will believe their bio and assume that any English sentences posted by them will be correct, when in reality most of the time they are not and this could harm an innocent person’s English learning experience. I would have confronted them personally but they blocked me so I thought I would spread awareness instead

@Roma Her sentence structure was similar to that of a beginner and it just sounded so awkward, it was almost as if she had just google translated it No fluent English speaker would ever speak how she did in that post, yet on her profile she has listed her native language as English Es una tortura would be closer to “it was torture”

Why is it wrong to say “but it is a torture “? How could i say “es una tortura” ?

I have a similar experience in the past. I got blocked for correcting spelling for Koreans.

If they are going to act like that, why are they using this app? This is an application for language exchange😔I can’t understand..
