    Its a shame, I would of sworn I had a list of all native speakers and there annoying errors, because that list would of been longer then big ben.

      I’m gonna swap the question around: Are native English speakers having an easier time reading this, than non-native speakers?

      Personally, as a non-native speaker, I feel like having a stroke in trying to decipher it. It’s like my brain sees regular words, but not the one it expects to follow on the previous ones.

        As a native speaker, it’s easy to understand (because it’s phonetic) but painful to read because the grammar is so terrible.

        Yeah, I didn’t have a problem reading it. The most awkward part was the weird comparison to Big Ben. The wrong “there” was the first thing to make me pause and then I saw the joke.

      You usually don’t compare bells by their length, weight is much more common. Anyway, Big Ben wouldn’t be a particular heavy one.
