english?

i've seen that a lot of people from this forum speak english as a second language (i include myself), how can a 13 years old kid from kazakastan speak english that well and with so few mistakes? i can speak english (even phili criticized me for my english a year ago) cuz i lived in the US for a while, but how can a 13 years old speak that well??

ps: i'm just bored

I'm 14, live in El Salvador. The reason why my English is like this? Attending a British school and getting A's-A+'s on my report card.

I didn't criticize you, I let you know that you made a mistake. I may have said it in a critical way, though, because you didn't have your location up and I didn't know that you weren't an anglophone. That means your English is REALLY GOOD, Byzzy.
