I'm not left speechless often, but every once in a while I just have to go "WTF???" 22 responses

If it is not clear to me, I make it up as I go along and may or may not answer.
I often speak alien languages.

I have to admit that sometimes I felt the same like you do but because there are points of their long stated discussion that I can relate then I answer it in my best way possible

Usually I can make a little sense and get the gist of what they are saying, but one today has left me stupefied

If I run across this sort of discussion,I can do nothing but blame myself,because English isn't my mother tongue.

I think I have been on the internet for too long that I can actually understand what people are trying to say. And I am guilty of even making my own mistakes. Oopies.
And yes, yes I have. You can hear the ocean.

Sometimes I kindly say "I am not sure I understand." Or I think you mean such and such." Or just shake my head.

Teaspoons above earbuds? LOL. OK, I am not native speaking and of course making mistakes, but I very hope that not so much confusing as this one.

I expect mistakes since not everyone here is a native speaker of English, but I just couldn't help laughing over this one.

Having a little bit of knowledge of several languages gives me some insight of how truly awful some translations are.

There are quite a few like that...you give it a shot and move on and wonder why others understood it since they all left glowing comments!

I once was so baked I somehow put bits and pieces of three different discussions into one.
