You're actually veering off into completely unrelated territory. We were discussing standard English, as spoken with consistency by the vast majority of native English speakers. Obviously dialects will cause exceptions and variations; those prove absolutely nothing contrary to what I already said. What a silly point to bring up.
I specifically pointed out the problem with clitics because it's standard across almost all native versions of English. If there are exceptions, they are few and far between and are irrelevant to what I was saying. Additionally, every time I've seen clitics misused, there are none of the accompanying other English variants from those dialects that should be expected. So again, there are clear indications when someone is a native English speaker.
You're also taking what I said and trying to cram that into a point you're trying to make, something I never argued. First, you talk about how English is super easy because "as little as 400 words" are needed "to get the message across". This is basic English. This — and only this — is what I meant by using the word basic. Then, you apply the term basic to mean "easy". That was never what I was saying. So congratulations on winning an argument against no one about nothing.
I don't know why you've chosen to read into my last posts something I never ever said, but I'm done now. I am not going to keep this back-and-forth going. This is completely off-topic at this point and just asinine.
