True, I'd agree that English is difficult to master. However, I have noticed that, while the most garbled and hacked-up English is somewhat understandable when spoken by a non-English speaker, people of other languages have difficulties understanding their own language when it is garbled and hacked-up (e.g. by me).

Hope that makes some sense.
