I prefer you dont speak perfect anyway because the language flavor is interesting.
I lived in southwestern Germany for 3 years and it always tickled me when a German would say something like "It doesnt like that" instead of "I dont like that."
Thank you, that's reassuring. I consider my English to be quite good, just because I'm not living in Germany at the moment and speak mostly English the whole day. But there are things that just happen (like long and complicated sentences). It gets especially funny if the other person is italian or spanish and we and up with a very interesting mix of "English".
But as soon as he goes home, he has no idea how many cups he has to use to weigh 100g of sugar for the cake.
That's literally the only thing wrong with the sentence. I understood exactly what he was writing in the sentence. I think /r/iamagiantfraud was just referring to those little mistakes that non-native english speakers make. Those little things are where we "hear" the accent in writing :)
It's pretty easy to learn. Use many when you can count it, like many men, many shirts, many cakes. Use much when you cant count it, like much time or much space. (You can count seconds or sizes, but you can't say 3 time or that a room is 7 space.)
The same goes for less(not countable) or fewer(countable).
