I don't know why I find english so 'simple' and 'logical', but it has always been that way. It just makes ALOT more sense grammatically than German/French (which I both completely sucked at), and Dutch (which obviously I know, but is still unnecessarily complicated in places).
Ofcourse English also has it's 'stinkers', which will throw you off-guard at times, and there are the slight differences between American english and UK english, but overall I find it very 'logical'. There are not a lot of 'rules' to remember.
Ever since I was a kid it just always made sense to me. In school there was one teacher who was convinced I was cheating cause I usually already finished the test (perfect score) pretty much by the time he had finished handing out the assignments on the other side of the classroom. I scored straight A's for comprehensive reading assignments (In Dutch as well btw...). I don't think I ever scored below a B in English.
I even corrected some of the english teachers I had.
In Dutch, I did score lower. Comprehensive reading and that kinda stuff has always been pretty simple, but the grammar rules are full of exceptions and other bullshit, and I never could be bothered to learn all the rules and terms etc, and tbh I never really cared about those mistakes. I always think it's about getting the message across, and if something is spelled incorrectly or there's a tiny error, I couldn't care less.
That doesn't mean I write like a dyslectic monkey, but it just means I don't really care when a mistake does creep in.
