I finished highschool in Portugal with 20 out of 20 in highschool average in English. I was the best student in the entire school and i didn't even know some of thoses words.
THIS IS FAKE AS HELL.
Umm the MarcoAntonio post/account is whats commonly referred to as satire.
People on the internet, and especially Americans (i dont know if you are, but i make the safe assumption) generally seem to have a part of their brain missing that lets them identify sarcasm, satire, irony.
So let me break it down for you my dim witted brother:
- People assume the OP is fake due to the inconsistently high level of English grammar and expression.
- Other people then state that due to the existence of international schools, the level of English in non English speaking countries is amazing.
- The initial nay sayers are now more or less willing to abide by that argument.
- The brilliant MarcoAntoni gimmick account then makes an intriguing post claiming to be the 14 year old brother of the said Portuguese prodigy. The gimmick uses language that not only exceeds the capacity of any "international english school graduate" but also that of any 14 year old period.
Hence the comedy gold.
Keep on trucking brother.
