    I will be honest, I’m somewhat proud of my proficiency level in English, especially considering I learned russian and German in school.

    But your comment confuses me, cause I don’t understand half of it.

      same here, had to read 3 times and rely on context. it does seem like they are using complex language just for the sake of using complex language

      Don’t worry about it. Your English is probably fine.

      I’m high and also kinda struggled to understand it

      I think this is the first time I’ve seen the word “libertinage”
