      Ironically it is generally the anglosphere who sucks at their grammar. Since native speakers mostly learn it by speaking and listening they have a harder time with those they’re, there, their situations, while everyone else learns it as a second language, primarily through reading and writing. The latter is obviously better suited for good grammar.

        I have also heard that English is actually a pretty hard language as well, it has so many goofy nuances like your, you’re, or there, their, they’re. Or words with different meanings like the whole Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Bufalo thing.
