Thank you. It is something I can use for improvement.
Can you point at the flaws? I can see that the structure of sentences is overcomplicated, but I don't know how it feels to native English speakers. Foreigner? Dork? Grammar Illiterate? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
Actually, a bit of all three. The one you can control the most is probably "dork", which unpacks as "someone with complex ideas who is too impatient/show-offy to explain their idiosyncratic jargon".
I'm a native English speaker, and I know that I still frequently sound "dorky" in that sense when I try to be too succinct.
It is valuable information, thanks. I underestimated relative weight of communication style in the feedback I got.
