This comment hurts my feeling.
How can I stop being an esl. When I speak I sound perfect but I can't write for shit.

Most native English speakers can't write for shit either, just practice.

Its just monolingual mutts and *nglos seething because someone is cucking their own language. Just chuckle at your intellectual superiority and move on.

This, imagine using esl as an insult

Chances are you don't sound close to perfect, your ESL ears bring incapable of distinguishing yourself from a native, but we can tell.

Still though, it seems you've achieved a high degree of fluency and I can commend you for that.

I have the opposite problem, I'm fairly confident in my writing skills but I suck ass when it comes down to pronouncing words. The fact that I'm socially awkward and try to avoid conversation whenever I see the chance doesn't help at all.
