I need comments from native English speakers (willing and able to give good advice to learners)

When you start arguing with native speakers of English, it seems to me that you're playing the hotshot, as though your English were good enough to tell some who lives in England how native speakers there would speak.

A hotshot is an expert, a master of a topic. My use of the term is sarcastic. You didn't like Tes yeux response, so you argue with him, and tell him you don't believe that's how a speaker of British English would say something. You must be an expert, huh?

I have no desire to play that silly thing you call the hotshot, whatever. To me, you seem to be the one who is obsessed with the idea, so you have fun playing that hotshot game. People like you are the reason I ended up here after looking for more credible sources. I may not speak English but I can tell when someone is trying to fool and talk down on the confused, spinning bs stories and yelling, I know everything, you know nothing, how dare you?

There are at least dozens of regional dialects in the UK, quite apart from class distinctions. There are dozens, perhaps more than a hundred regional dialects in the United States, but few distinctions having to do with social classes. People in one part of a state (and there are fifty of them) will frequently speak differently than people in another part of a state. Although i am a native speaker of English, i would never suggest that Tes yeux is making up stories about how English is spoken in Britain. Have fun, hotshot, i will trouble you no more.
