Yeah, tbh, I really feel lucky that academic publishing has an English norm and that it's my first language. Doesn't make me a good writer, but I can only imagine how hard the process would be if it weren't my first language.

I usually don't struggle so much because Sweden is so exposed to English, but tons of my foreign colleagues have really bad English. Heck, my Swedish supervisor can barely make himself understood at a Subway in Texas, much less spell or use grammar
