The reason we are so good (and it's not really that we are all that good mind you, as my constant run-on sentences should tell you, and of course generally I use parenthesis like these to kinda "excuse" my run-ons) is because English is our natural language. You wouldn't notice our problems because it is NOT your native tongue.
Generally, we look past it, but sometimes you say something that we can't make any sense out of. So, we GOTTA call you on it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
